Thread: Rumored NSH Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jaycee</b></div><div>Yeah understand all that I’m just a firm believer come expansion time it wouldn’t cost a crazy amount to do a deal with seattle to not take Ekholm. 22 y/o RFA controlled Dumba cost Tuch. I don’t see a 31 y/o on an expiring deal costing more then a B prospect and maybe a 3rd. I wouldn’t mind Savard but big pass on Golo. I like Dumba I just don’t know if he is the fit. Idk what it is with Provorov but his game just gets worse somehow when he plays with more offensive orientated D men at least in this stage of his career.</div></div>



I would bet it’s a trust issue with Provy, he always knew Nisky was gonna be there if he tried to make something happen. I’ll use Dumba as an example here since I’ve watched him the past 4 years and he *could* be a fit in PHI.

Dumba and Brodin are so successful because they trust each other. Early on, Dumba pressed because he knew Brodin always had his back. But Dumba has matured defensively since his injury and you see that in Brodin jumping into the play much more, meaning Dumba is taking the defensive responsibility. That is really what I see this year from Dumba, he’s smarter about when to jump into the play and more cognizant of how to make the right defensive play.

I think he could fit with Provy given that development, as 3 pro years is a lot for defensemen. It would be better to come in during the summer though and MIN is willing to protect him first. Just something to consider.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jaycee</b></div><div>I think you’re mistaken on the window. Best window they have is the next 2 years with this core. Couturier is on a bargain of a contract there is no reason to just waste away having a contract like that. Expansion draft worries shouldn’t even be a problem. You can make deals with Seattle to not take Ekholm. Fletcher made a deal with Vegas to not take Dumba</div></div>

I’m a Wild fan and watching Tuch still stings. I completely agree that Coots is on a steal now but with as young as the roster is, I’ve gotta think they would plan on the window being a bit wider. With the right incentive, you could probably clear Voracek or JVR to Seattle.

I know you’re more in tune with the Flyers than I am, but I see a team that’s strong down the middle and has young wingers coming into form along with potential on the backend. I also don’t think Ekholm and Arvidsson make you a real contender this year, even if it does make you better. Going all is a good strategy at some point, I just don’t think you’re there yet.
