Thread: Here ya go Lou
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ProudUncle</b></div><div>Guerin isn't stupid enough to piss off kaprizov. Zuccarello is everything to kaprizov. Even if dumba is available, looks like the hm has a certain value of him, and won't move him if he doesn't</div></div>

<em>Zuccarello is everything to kaprizov</em> - this is the same GM who has quotes such as "we don't have time for petty bull****" or "this is about F**king winning", etc, you don't think that if he could get a significantly better player to play with Kirill at a net pretty much even all around in this world, that he wouldn't do it? I completely and utterly disagree.

Also, Dumba will absolutely get traded if he does not like the $3.5M contract that's put in front of him, as that is the amount the wild can afford to pay him.

Zuccarello is a product of kaprizov and there isn't a comparable player who's 35+ who went for a 1st rd pick.</div></div>

I mean, and Kadri isn't a product of Mackinnon, Makar, Landeskog, Raantanen, etc? Also, has there been a 35+ player that has been traded that has had 1+ppg?

Thread: How to get Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>User123409871234</b></div><div>Im not a Holl person, and it just continues to clog up the right side for Addison and Faber, which I believe Addison might become the new Dumba in terms of name always being tossed around, as I think Faber will likely take the spot next to Brodin as 2 unreal skaters with great puck ability but limited offense, maybe I could be wrong but I don't see Faber as their "long-term" 3rd pair RD.

So, all that being said, if you could get Knies for Dumba 50% retained, I would do that in a heartbeat as well.</div></div>

Holl was simply to make the money work. He's pending UFA at $2M. There would be no intention to re-sign him, purely a cap balance part of the deal. Entirely optional - TOR could probably just separately move him for a small return, if they'd prefer.

edit - it wasn't just Dumba 50% for Knies though. It was O'Rourke as well. Not a nothing piece at all. Captain of the Soo, which was intentional to play on Dubas' heartstrings.
