My counter would be Phi 2nd, Portillo, maybe another B prospect (wingers Kisakov, Bloom, Nadeau, or Poktapov). It probably isn’t enough, and that’s fine, but that would be my personal max offer, at least as of now.

I agree it’s too much, but it’s not almost Eichel. Missing the 1B (at the time) and the clear 1 piece (now) in Tuch. Portillo and a 2nd is the most I would do for Demko. If that’s a no, that’s fine. Leave it at that

MN Wild-Seller Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gottscc</b></div><div>It's a pretty tough condition, but sure take it out. I appreciate someone actually reading through all the notes before rocking a thought.</div></div>
I’ll be honest, I think a 2nd is too high anyways. And it’s not a raw stats look saying he’s only got x amount of points. I live where I get FSN and watch a lot of Wild games. He hasn’t looked quite the same since the shoulder surgery, and while he has a role and does it, a 2nd of itself seems a little much for me. But generally don’t like to beat up minor proposals (2nd round or less for at least serviceable guys)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>The 1st will be lower in the draft, Raty is a better prospect than Ostlund and AB is just under a half point per game player. The Canucks got much more than this and they should have for Horvat. What do you suggest the trade be. I can give you links to experts that do this for a living and are smarter than you and I combine when it comes to hockey that says that Buffalo is interested in Dumba. So make a proposal to me and see where it goes. I think Caerii was closest on their trade proposal which is a proected 1st and a prospect like Bloom or Kisakov. I don't like those prospects because they don't fill a need we have in any way but we get a 1st and a body.</div></div>
This is how I know you don’t know much about prospects. Ostland taken at 16 vs Raty taken in the second round after being projected to go first overall for many years leading to the draft. Raty did very little in professional leagues in Europe. Is barely a half ppg player (nothing to sneeze at, but not great either). AB is a bottom six guy with limited offense. Also there’s no way of thinking Buffalo first will be in the 20s. It could be, could also be as low as 12? All for a bad player in Dumba. It was a bad proposal, it’s ok to just move on instead of doubling down on it.

Retool if we become Sellers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>Depends on the situation the team is in. I never say no to a trade and look at it more in depth. I think Lambos could be good, but he's still young and hasn't proven anything yet and a 2nd doesn't do anything for me right now. So I look at the Dumba trade as this, the guy has been on the trade block for 5 years now. His contract is up and is very unlikely to be resigned. The trade deadline is coming and he knows he is gone, I think he plays much better when he is traded. Imagine being in a situation where you are talked about being fired every day no matter what you do for that company. I'm not saying he will be a 50 point scorer again but he certain is capable of playing Top 4 minutes in this league. On a Cup team hes a stud bottom pairing guy and plays in all situations.
Savoie, Kulich and Ostlund haven't proven anything yet at a pro level. I'm not saying people shouldn't be excited about them or protect them but they still haven't done anything at the AHL/NHL level. Of those 3 Ostlund is seen as the lesser of the three. I picked him because of that and a 1st that will be 20th - 25th in this years draft. Sorry if the value is off a bit but honestly Buffalo's window has been pushed up because the team has come together so well. You guys are a scary looking roster. I'm glad you guys have bounced back so well, because that Eichel situation was no fun for anyone and you deserve a good team. Hope to see you do well in the playoffs and will probably be the team I root for if the Wild don't make it.</div></div>
Buffalo’s window has been pushed up. That doesn’t mean they should trade for a severely declining to the point of being bad hockey players just because. That’s significantly more than over a PPG center in Horvat just went for. I get it, you’re not a prospect guy. But if the “max” you’ve seen for Dumba is a Risto return, this is already more than that.

There’s a better chance that Buffalo wouldn’t trade one of those pieces for Demko right now than all 3. That’s bad.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>What don't you like about it? Nothing you gave was constructive. Many rumors have Buffalo tied to Dumba, Edmundson and a huge splash in Chychrun. Dumba could be a very easy resign and play on the bottom 4 for your team for the next 6 years. Minnesota is loaded with defense prospects and in cap hell otherwise we wouldn't be trading him.</div></div>
That it’s absolutely terrible for Buffalo probably. I mean, you certainly wouldn’t do Lambos and a 2nd for Girgensons just because you have many D prospects would you? Didn’t think so. But that’s on par with Dumba’s on ice value. He’s been pretty brutal this year

It’s debatable, but sure looks like it this season. I just wanted to avoid The Who’s better talk, and focus on the trade being off for a variety of factors

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KPasty</b></div><div>Why would it be dumb? They're starting to contend now, Levi is probably 2-3 years away. You have a goalie who is in his prime and can get you in to the playoffs and gain experience while most players on their cheap deals and not making $7M+ like Cozens, Quinn, Power will surely be making in just a couple seasons. Sure its a risk with his injuries, but a dumb move, it is not.</div></div>
Roughly because they aren’t lacking a starter as UPL is playing very serviceable. *Note this isn’t saying UPL is better than Demko, just an unnecessary move for a slight upgrade. Or in other words, a dumb price to pay for that mild upgrade, if that.

Buffalo doesn’t want a 32 year old with a sub .900 save percentage. They especially don’t trade a 2nd for one. Also trading a 2nd plus for JVR doesn’t make sense. They don’t need retention. They have 16M in cap space in the unlikely scenario you’ve presented anyways.

Why is Buffalo adding? As much flack as Mitts gets he’s at worst a bottom 6 player, where Eetu probably tops out at. The difference in Montour and Joki isn’t a 2nd.

There’s no promises the cap will jump that much and if it does those guys I mentioned will eat up a lot of it. They showed faith in power by burning a year last year. It would only work if all those guys took mild discounts based upon current trajectory. This doesn’t even take into consideration that UPL (or some other goalie) will be getting paid during that time as well. Gotta show faith in the team and reward them with decent goaltending, either from within or out the org. To me, it’s an improper use of space/assets. I’ll agree could be very entertaining to watch though.
