Thread: Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>I've seen Addison in the top 50 for club associated prospects so he's a pretty valuable asset. I don't know that either him or Dumba are the kind of defensemen that Columbus needs going foward though. Dumba is a bit lacking at the defensive end and Addison is a very offensively gifted dman that likely wouldn't get the deployment he would need to take advantage of that skill set with Werenski and Boqvist in town.

Just value being considered though, I don't know that Minnesota would need to include a pick at all if they were trading Dumba and Addison for Ceulemans and 12th. Columbus probably would have to kick in a lower pick if anything.</div></div>

I would argue that Dumba is better defensively than he is offensively! He’s a legit good defender now and has never had the scoring touch he had pre-shoulder injury. He and Brodin lead the Wild in minutes every game and are almost always the two on the ice at the end of a tight game. The idea Dumba is not a good defender is now longer the case.
