Would Arizona look to dump salary or bolster other needs in moving Dumba? If so what are their needs?

Yotes are chronically short of D talent so it would need to be another d. He doesn't seem to be a good fit up to this point. The Yotes are hanging around the last playoff spot, so this would need to be a hockey trade. We don't need the type of futures Dumba would get us. Maybe a sturdy penalty-killing defensive D. Somone who could be part of the future, we can add some decent draft pick or picks. I don't think at the moment he holds a lot of value. Maybe best to look closer to the deadline.

Dumba's averaging 2nd most ice time among D-men for the Coyotes who are currently tied for the last playoff spot. They've got injuries to D (Valimaki, Kolychonok). Dumba hasn't been as good as we'd hoped but he hasn't been awful either.
If the Yotes fall out of contention by the trade deadline, I think they offer to retain and ask for a late 2nd in return. But until they fall clearly out, it's hard to imagine Dumba getting moved.

Durzi, Brown, Stecher and Kesselring are RD while Dermott and Kolyachonok can play the right side. There's no particular need to pursue RD.
Not by this Wild fan. Fun guy, but I think that Brodin is getting a new lease on life playing with a partner who he doesn't have to babysit. He's on pace for his highest point total ever, playing with Faber.
I guess I am evaluating him at his old 6M salary though. Sounds like ARI isn't happy with him even at a 1 x 4M cap hit ... he doesn't seem to be acclimating to the desert.
The only way MN could take him back(he would be an asset playing RHD on the 3rd pairing) would be if 4M went the other way, but I can't think of who. I also don't want to spend draft capital on him.
When a 29 year old hits UFA, that's the time to sign long term. Really last big contract and coming off $6 mill AAV for 5 years and he has to drop it down to $4 mill on one of the worst teams last season, tells a lot about how teams feel about him. He plays a premium position at RHD.

they were out of the playoff race the second the oilers started playing hockey again
I’d love to send Goligoski and a 2nd to them for Dumba retained to 2 million
Jumping the Jets might be a tall ask, but they could sneak out a 3rd in division. There is no reason to believe they can't jump the Blues and Preds at least and get a shot at a WC.

Nope, none of us do, but we're not shy on depth. That seems to be his point.

In fairness, Dumba isn't going to help them build a dynasty either.
So you want a guy who isn't very good defensively, isn't very good offensively for what reason... and then you'll blame the goalies for it....

I know reading is hard for you but at no point did I mention the Leafs.
If this was meant as a Matt Dumba to the Leafs thread, that would be the title but It's not because It's a general value thread.

A great part of Dumba's value lies off the ice, what role he plays in the locker room, and in the community as well. He was stellar in these roles as a Wild.
