Value of: Dumba to Oilers

[Dr Jan Itor]

You think Dumba is worth Drai or McDavid?

Yikes....

I think that adding to Dumba for Draisaitl is the only thing makes sense from our point-of-view, and that trading Dumba for any other pieces, although they may be valuable pieces in their own right (JP, top 10 pick, Yamamoto) makes little to no sense to us, currently.

Well you're like the 4th person to take it that way so you probably shouldn't Sarcasm just doesn't come through in writing as well as it does in my head.

I got it, and got a laugh out of it

Can we please have your 50 point defensemen and your 30 goal scorer uh?

Price of Dumba to Oilers? Only pieces off table are Mcdavid and Drasaitl.

For a 23yo finishing 7th RHD in goals and 11th in points? Draisaitl for Dumba+

Or Nurse and a big plus. Poolparty has no toolbox, Yamamoto is a tweener. None of the other prospects are enticing.

Most enticing offer is Nurse + picks, which is kind of meh. Wild has cap to keep everyone, so no reason to downgrade unless franchise players are coming back.

Trade for Nurse so he can play on our third pairing, ya?

If the Oilers wanted Dumba they should have made a move a few years ago . The Wild need the D they have now and can not afford to trade a RD

Yup, and frankly, Dumba would have been cheaper then. Trading for a 23 yo RHD who just had his best season isn't going to be cheap. Guys to go after on the Wild right now (who aren't shit)are Nino and Coyle. Good players who had mediocre to bad years, mostly due to non chronic injury.

Exactly. While Brodin can play RD, I don't see what trading for Nurse does for MN, and I like Nurse.

That was a nice way of saying that their prospect pool is junk and only Draisaitl would do.

jesus...

Sometime you're rational, sometime you the biggest Homer on this site, i just don't know what to say

On the one hand... I completely understand a huge guffaw when someone would suggest Nurse > Dumba... that's not close to true presently, so you are well within your rights to scold.

On the other hand, I think any GM holding Nurse would scowl at the idea of trading him period... he's really maturing into a mean Jay Bouwmeester type... he'll almost certainly never have the offense of a Dumba, but he's a very intelligent kid and once his experience catches up with his skating, he's going to be an elite, shutdown D that can skate the puck out of danger. That's a VERY rare combination of skills.

Dumba
Coyle
Ennis (cap)

for

Drai
Bear

That's the closest I could get to value, but I'm not sure that makes any sense. Maybe add JEE/Kunin and Pulj to the equation?

Yeah, he might be a good one. I was surprised to see that he's only 6mos. younger than Dumba, though. Imagine he and Dumba together as a pair for the next 10 years, though.

Dumba+Coyle+1st+? for Drai? basically a young RHD, 3rd to 2nd line swing power forward/grinder, 1st in 2018 (23) and the + Sokolov?
