Thread: Lets look at next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Yep a Barkov deal would involve moving Dumba in a separate trade (maybe a 3 way deal) to clear cap, but we could also buy out Rask, let Hartman walk, and sign a league minimum LW instead of the $2.5M 4th line LW you have here. The flat cap has so far shown a shift in the demand curve for the market, I'd be pretty surprised if teams are willing to pay much more than $2M for 4th liners/depth D. It's still a long shot but 27 year old selke centers that can score at PPG rates don't hit the market very often and Barkov just might. Otherwise there's a ton of other intriguing options in that free agency class.</div></div>

My 2.5M LW was based on what we're paying for Hartman and Foligno. Old guy difference makers like them still cost those kind of prices. I wouldn't want a league minimum bruiser on this team. It's not our identity.

We'll see how this goes, but it's going to be tricky to make any adds here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I wouldn't want to trade for him but I'd like the idea of signing Danault if it's a reasonable contract. Otherwise just save the cap this offseason and hope Barkov leaves Florida and wants to come here the next offseason (long shot).

I still think this forward core needs like 2-3 more impact players. Hopefully we can land a top 10/lottery pick and grab another good forward next year or use Dumba to trade for a good young player.</div></div>

If we could get Danault for 4-5MM and shave some money off my predictions above and/or buyout Rask, then I'd really like to see that. I missed him in the predicted UFA list or I would have proposed something like that.

I don't think that we can afford Barkov unless we trade away Dumba or convince Zuccarello to waive his NMC and get someone to take him. So I'm guessing that Barkov won't be here.

But how much better does this team look if we go Danault/Barkov - Rossi - JEEK - Sturm down the middle?!!! Now that would be fun.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>Obviously, like you mentioned, a #1 C would be really helpful for this team, but another area where I would've liked to see them be more aggressive is goaltending. Talbot can hopefully work out, and I don't think he was a terrible bet to make, but I think they <em>really</em> could've benefitted from a sure fire starter. They're an elite defensive team, but due to sorta 'meh' goaltending the last few years, what should be their biggest strength hasn't really been that advantageous.</div></div>

I agree on goalie being a likely need. But if we had average goaltending last year we'd have been a top 5 team in GAA. The problem was too many soft goals. If Talbot can lock that down, we're good for now.

We don't have anyone in the system who can step in. I'm not a believer in Kaponen any more. So, we'd have to look at UFA. There's Tukka Rask, Raanti, and Grubauer available, but I wouldn't want to buyout Talbot for them.

I don't know. The most likely addition would be a trade for a C1, but I just don't see it happening.

Thread: Pacific 3 way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks </b></div><div>I’m not saying this is random, in fact I’d be betting it’s accurate.
What I’m saying is Wilson is known in the league to get serious and then back off or go a different route last min. he does this all the time I’m hoping this is what is going on cause I can’t think of why you’d want 2 high cap hit goalies over 30 coming off back to back poor seasons. Unless he has a deal in place to trade Jones</div></div>

That has to be really frustrating as a fan to have things changing that suddenly. I'm really spoiled having Russo as our beat writer and having GMs who are mostly straight shooters, even if some of them are off their rocker, like Fenton.

For the Sharks' sake, I hope they don't take Dubnyk. I really don't think he has anything left.

Thread: What is the trade value of Matt Dumba?
I've seen alot of trades from ACGMs valuing Dumba at a 1:1 for Monahan or a package deal for prospects. My only experience with big defenseman trades is Brent Burns in 2011, ancient history I know. But I'm wondering what the actual value for Dumba should be?

2011
Brent Burns, RHD, age 26, pts = 43, 27, 20, and 46 for 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011
Wild 2nd

For

Devin Setoguchi, RW, age 24, NHL 41 to 63 pts/yr for the previous 3 yrs
Charlie Coyle, C, age 20, Saint John's, 38 to 63 pts/yr for previous 3 years
Sharks 1st

So what about Dumba?
Dumba, RHD, age 26, pts = 34, 50, 22 (injury shortened), and 24 (COVID) for 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019

Wild fans all know how the Burns trade ended up (we lost), but at the time it looked like a haul. Burns was likely to leave as a free agent, which suggests the Wild could get more for Dumba who is locked in for 3 years.

Can we get similar value for Dumba? What does his trade value look like to you?
