Thread: Dvorak Makes The Most Sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jrdroge25</b></div><div>Overpaying? I don’t think ur rlly giving up enough value here. AZ can get better</div></div>

I think the Dvorak move also makes the most sense for the Wild given his long term control and the offer is fair. Beckman is expendable in my eyes and a late first plus a 2nd/3rd is fair. If the Yotes can find more value for him than what is offered here then more power to them. They are looking at a long term rebuild and most contending teams are going to ask them to take salary back in trades this offseason. Rask is serviceable and a UFA they could flip for more assets if he plays well during the season.

The only issue I see in this team was the 2 year deal for Stepan. There's no need to do that if you're trading for Dvorak. A one year offer to let Rossi get up to speed is all that's needed on Stepan. Money will be too tight next year and Strum needs a new contract.

Thread: Long term outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>There is not a more overvalued player in professional sports than how Wild fans view Matt Dumba right now. Look at any comparable player to his performance in the last several years and the return they receive in a trade.

Devon Toews for instance, performed better than Dumba last season, had RFA status, and was a year away from being in consideration for expansion draft issues, and costed 2 2nds. A player literally more valuable than Dumba in nearly every capacity went for 2 2nd round picks. How a guy who has a worse recent performance record and a far worse contract situation is worth way more is unimaginable to me</div></div>

I agree with this. Wild fans need to adjust their expectations for a return on any Dumba trade. As its been reported multiple times Guerin has been open to moving him for the last couple seasons. Teams know the expansion situation and his real salary is 7+.

The Wild aren't getting an asset and a 1st for Dumba. Guerin needs to get what he can and move on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildwinswhen</b></div><div>He's worth more than you're offering. He's a 20+ goal scoring 31-year old veteran C1 on a decent contact with 3 years left. You make it sound like he's a 36 year old liability.</div></div>

I couldn’t disagree more with your decent contract definition. How many 31-year-olds are getting better and have a extended contract that age well? Look at the current Wild roster construction and I think you’ll see an answer pretty clearly. The Wild don’t need another 30+ year old player with a $5 million cap hit on the roster.

If they were going to entertain a trade for him Anaheim is at a minimum retaining salary or taking back another bad contract in Victor Rask. They are certainly not throwing valuable young assets or high draft picks in a deal like that.
