<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alex_ouellet</b></div><div>Wild are losing Dumba at expansion draft anyways. May as well get some offense value instead of losing him for nothing</div></div>

No, we're not. Dumba isn't likely on the roster in two years maybe not even next year, but he is absolutely protected in any and all expansion draft scenarios. There's this little thing in the expansion draft where a team can go 4 forwards - 4 defenseman and 1 goalie.

Maybe you've heard of it?

Greenway, Soucy, and Talbot will be those left exposed. Losing them to Seattle hurts, but is better than losing Dumba for free.

Bottom line, Drouin on his own isn't worth a Top Paring RHS OFD, who has been more of a two-way defenseman this year anyway, and has easily been the second best on the team behind only Brodin. On a team that currently has a top 5 defense in the league.

Drouin 1 for 1 for Dumba is an insult.

People think they can lowball us just because of the ED. They think wrong. Guerin has refused to move Dumba for better returns than what you offered us.

1) We have no need for Drouin.

2) Drouin is a winger not a center.

3) The Wild need centers. Top 6 centers, specifically. If not a top six center, than a top six <strong><em>potential</em></strong> center.

That said, Guerin turned down Monahan for Dumba 1v1. Do you still think Drouin will cut it?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yeeeehaaa</b></div><div>Copp would be their second line centre easily. Very underrated player. If you think anybody is giving up top end talent for Dumba you’re mistaken. Supposedly guerin shopped Dumba all summer and every team scoffed at his asking. Vancouver wouldn’t even think of dealing Boeser for Dumba one for one. Bet he goes for a late to mid first round pick, a mid pick and a B prospect at the deadline lol</div></div>

A 1st and an A-/B+ prospect should be the return. As <a href="/users/ModanoisCool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@ModanoisCool</a> said, BG knows what he wants and he’s willing to play the game in order to get it. The biggest thing with Dumba has been whether he can regain his form (he has) and his cap hit. While I agree that a top 6 C is more than Dumba is worth, Ehlers is really the best bet for MIN but Ehlers is too important for WPG for the deal to work. WPG just doesn’t have the non roster assets to get this done.

Copp is a good player, but he’s a 3C and that’s just not a good enough piece to build around.
