Description

As has been reported by Frank Seravalli, the Minnesota Wild are one of the teams interested in JT Miller ahead of the 2022 trade deadline. With that in mind, I put this trade together with the thought of Minnesota maximizing a two-year window ahead of $15M in Dead Cap from Suter and Parise buyouts from 2023-2025.

While Dumba certainly isn't a negative asset, the Wild have Spurgeon, Brodin, and Goligoski all playing at a top-4 level with Merrill and Kulikov outplaying their contracts to varying degrees and able to fill in the void that Dumba leaves to some level, Poolman becomes the sixth defenceman for them but maintains the right-handedness of the position.

I think this swap benefits both the Wild and the Canucks simultaneously. The Canucks accept that they are not a playoff team in 2022 and 2023 and take on the Dumba $6M in the short term, but gain cap-space into 2024 and 2025 when they should be competing for playoff spots once again if things go to Rutherford's plan (my opinion). Wild gain JT Miller at 1/3 his value, and around $1M in cap space for this offseason where they can start to entertain the raises that Fiala and Greenway will each get.

Canucks also net an RHD prospect who can start accruing NHL minutes with Poolman being gone, as well as the Wild's 2nd best C prospect behind Rossi.

It makes sense to me but I'm not the Canucks GM so I'm excited to hear all your feedback.

Too much. Not a fit for the Wild.

No way MIN trades both Addison and Dumba.

Yeah, I could see them moving Dumba to free up money but Addison is the logical fit to fill his top 4 offensive dman role on the team so this trade doesn't make much sense. Taking on a $2.5m dman to play bottom pair minutes also doesn't seem like a great idea either.

Seems to be a bit too much. I have understood that Guerin would like to keep Dumba at least until the summer, but if I was the GM, I would swap Addison for a lesser prospect and take out Poolman. This way, Addison can be our sixth defenseman while also providing us talent in the coming years. Many Nucks fans won't like that change, however. The trade in this form just doesn't make sense for us.

The ask for JT from you canucks fans is rediculous, he is a second line center. I can see Dumba and maybe a second but even that isn't fair, keep in mind Dumba is playing first D minutes.

I base my ask on the fact that he is gonna be making 1/3 his value for two playoff runs and one full season. The Dumba vs Poolman part was more for the short-term vs long-term cap relief for each team to alleviate some cap space in their respect contention windows.

If your not seeing any value in Dumba, take Rask instead and keep Poolman.
