Thread: sell at the deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Dumo can play the left, that's true. But Dumo has regularly played the right for the majority of his career in the NHL, especially given the fact he was paired with Pettersson for most of it.

Goligoski is only a <em>slight</em> step down from Suter in that top 4. And it sounds like there's a gentleman's agreement to extend him for another year or two at roughly $2M or so if it all goes well.

Besides, that left D prospect depth is pretty well stacked after the last couple of drafts. O'Rourke, Lambos, Hunt and Peart are all left D. And all have top 4 upside. Hunt and Peart specifically are flexible in that can play either side too.

Depth wise the team is set with Kulikov, Merrill, and Benn. Defensively, the team is set. They don't need Dumo.</div></div>

Dumoulin plays almost exclusively the left side paired with Letang and would be an upgrade on everyone you mentioned on the left side. I'm not disagreeing that they don't need to spend the resources to bring him in as they're set on D, but he would help the team this year for sure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>I love Dumo, but what makes you think the Wild need another defenseman? Especially for a young cost controlled goaltender who is very likely going to be one 1/2 of the goaltending tandem in Minnesota for the next ten years?

The Wild already have Spurgeon and Dumba for their top 4 needs on the right. And they already have Dumba's replacement in the system having acquired Addison from none other than the Penguins during the Zucker trade, they don't need Dumoulin.</div></div>

I'm not trying to say the trade is perfect or anything, but Dumoulin plays the left side which after Brodin isn't quite as impressive as Minnesota's right side. A top 4 of Brodin-Spurgeon and Dumo-Dumba looks pretty great.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>It's just gonna be tough for us to consider because I expect he'll want some solid $$ which we really can't afford and coming off a sub-.900 season isn't great for a team that already has another overpaid, sub-.900 goalie. We might have interest, but only if we're not giving up a notable asset because I think there might be better options out there for us in net. I think there is a place for Murray out there if you want to trade him, just maybe not in San Jose. Sorry if I came off as a bit of an ass, just throwing that out there.</div></div>

Nah you're good. I appreciate a meme as much as the next guy. SJ is just one of the 5 or 6 teams that are repeatedly mentioned as needing a goalie and I'm a big fan a Lebanc, so I did it. I expect Murray to be going to Minnesota though since Guerin has said he wants a goalie and knows Murray. Either them or Calgary.
