I know some people may raise the eyebrow to this but I think there’s still a chance the Wild trade Matt Dumba. He’s got a ton of trade value and to be honest we could use the cap space so trading him for a solid asset and saving cap space could be a solid win for Minnesota. The Wild have a young defenseman in Calen Addison waiting in the wings for a spot on the big club and perhaps he’s playing a role that they like more than how Dumba plays. If Minnesota does move Dumba out, it’ll more than likely be an off-season move but never the less something that could be done.
