Thread: Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>I don’t think there’s any way that Pinto is switched out for Dumba, mostly because he’s a centre which is a position Ottawa needs even more than a RD. A trade would realistically need to start with another prospect just based on needs alone.

I think where you and gavinray might not be seeing eye to eye is that you said Dumba is a top pairing D where Gavin said he’s top 4. He plays a top 4 role in Minnesota, not top pair and if he was in Ottawa he would be top pair by default and not necessarily by merit just because the RD is so barren rn.

I see Dumba as more of a top 4 than top pair RD but I can understand why you’d want to be paid for a top pair dman when that is where he would play in Ottawa. If you start the deal with almost any other conversation I think there’s a conversation to be had.</div></div>


No, I think where we're not seeing eye to eye is that he'd rather give up expendable pieces, and the Wild aren't trading Dumba for expendable pieces.

I think the main takeaway here is that, if OP or anyone else wants Dumba, the offer is going to have to make the Wild want to trade Dumba. There's going to have to be at least one piece involved that makes the Wild feel good about trading Dumba. Otherwise, they'll keep him for themselves, or talk to one of the other 29 teams in the league.

Thread: Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gavinray</b></div><div>I'll take Greenway then LOL He's got 14 points in 18 games so far and has looked solid. Sign me up.

He's a top pairing Dman because what? The stats don't support that. His defensive play visually doesn't support that. He has the offence of a top pairing D but look at his production last season.
Again I think you're severely overvaluing him.</div></div>

You've already proven you don't actually watch these players, you just look at stats. So why should I take anything you say about visual play seriously? Bringing up last season without acknowledging the context only further invalidates your argument.

You can keep saying you think I'm overvaluing him, but it doesn't mean you're correct, and it doesn't mean I should go with what YOU think his value is (especially given we've established you don't watch him, nor have any context surrounding the stats you're looking at).

I'm sorry that you feel that I'm overrating Dumba, but Tierney, Thomson, 2nd isn't a good offer for the Wild, and Brown, 2nd, 2nd isn't much better. You'd rather offer quantity over quality, and I get it, but Minnesota is looking for quality over quantity, and there are 29 (soon to be 30) other teams in the league to talk to. So regardless of what you want to offer and what you think you should be able to get him for, you're going to have to come to the table with an offer that works for Minnesota if you really want to land him. It's going to take something that hurts to give up.

Thread: Wild things
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodinCheerD</b></div><div>No from Minnesota. This was a no when islanders tried to. Wild aren't trading Parise for trash in Andrew ladd, &amp; nobody prospect who was suspicious for 25 -50games for performance enhancement drug.

Guerin wanted a 1st round pick in 20 draft, &amp; islanders say no. This deal is dead. Parise has more worth to wild.

No to Minnesota giving up both 1st round pick for rangers one. There's a very good chance Pittsburgh pick will end up being lottery.

No reason for wild to give up both 1st round pick. Way way to much value.

2 of our 3 deals straight up bad for wild</div></div>

Parise has been pretty bad this year. MarJo and Bjugstad have just been so awful everyone looks better in comparison. He's the 3rd FWD on the 3rd line with Foligno and Harman being better, not great company to be compared with when you're making $8m ($7.5m AAV) this year.

Thread: They said it couldnt be done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheGHANDI90</b></div><div>He doesn't know, because he clearly chooses not to watch any NHL hockey outside of his little Wild bubble. Saying that Drouin isn't good when he would be the leading scorer on Minnesota was pretty funny tho. I guess that means the whole Wild team is not good either 🤷‍♂️</div></div>

Points coming from the Canada Divison don't mean much to the rest of the league. He'd also be tied for the team lead in points with 2 other players, and has played a few more games. Plus MN was putting an AHL roster on the ice for a couple of their games because of COVID. Not really a great argument.

Drouin is fine, he's just not better than what MN already has in their top-6. You don't trade the farm for a 3rd line wing. You also don't trade the farm for a guy who gets exposed to SEA in a few months. The Wild are better off with keeping their stuff and not touching this trade. Poehling would get you 3rd from MN. Mete has negative value to MN.

A 50p wing isn't worth a 1st+ an A prospect + boom or bust prospect + a quality bottom-6/PK FWD. MN dumped Zucker because he was redundant on the team. Drouin is just as redundant as Zucker was last year.

Please keep your stuff, MN is happy to keep their stuff, and pretend this offer never happened.

Thread: They said it couldnt be done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodinCheerD</b></div><div>Dude do some research. You are wrong.

Jason Zucker was traded to make room in top 4 for kaprizov

They aren't playing Parise &amp; Zuccarello on 3rd pairings.

They also aren't playing foligno on 4th pairings

Like just shaking my head.

This isn't happening. Wild aren't playing matt Boldy in Iowa next year much less needing to make room for Adam Beckman

Jonathan drouin isn't good. Wild aren't trading for wingers when they have a million of them

This is a beyond no from Minnesota.

Caden addison is a beast. So is Adam Beckman. It's tiring trying to explain common sense to Montreal fans like you</div></div>

Well Parise has earned his bottom-6 spot this year. Foligno on the 4th line wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Zucc and Kaprizov found some instant chemistry, I don't want to split that up.
