Speculation: Tea leaves round 2 Edmonton Minnisota

[Bloomberg]

Wow, if they trade RNH as well...

Going with a 19 and 20 year old as your top 2 centres is a terrible idea. Nuge is young as well, but he's far more experienced than Leon or McDavid.

They would still have Eberle and if they could sign Lucic along with another veteran, then I think they'll be fine

 

[gwh]

Sorry, and this is coming from a guy who isn't crazy about RNH, but if Fletcher didn't offer more than Dumba for RNH then he is an idiot. For salary alone it doesn't work...

Would you sign Mikael Granlund for 6mil x 4years?

RNH is a 5% upgrade while playing on a team that attacks like nutters. Centers dont cover for D in EDM and play all in all the time.

RNH is Wild will fail and not because RNH is a bad player. It fails because we play all centers like M.Koivu.

 

[jacks*]

I think that's the point. if RNH is really the main target, Dumba doesn't make any sense going the other way due the cap. It would have to be Brodin for RNH

Wow if true this day is just getting better.

If only we had a totally re-vamped coaching staff. Oh wait!

 

[AKL]

If we traded Dumba for RNH I would riot in the streets. Even if it was by myself.

 

[rockinghockey]

It is known that Chia won't move LD and Chia already stated he wasn't interested in Dumba or Brodin

 

[AKL]

Aha ok buddy, that's a mighty fine opinion but it's not correct on either point.

Either way I'd rather deal Dumba than Brodin. Want no part of a Brodin for RNH swap any longer. Stevens will be a beast of a coach for Brodin.

You'd think he'd be more of a beast of a coach for Dumba, considering Dumba has more of the physical tools. Just needs to learn the defensive side.

Stevens can't teach Brodin to be a big hitter or to have a better shot. He CAN teach Dumba how to be better positionally though.

Why can't you just admit that you've never seen RNH play instead of spouting bullcrap like this?

lmao don't worry I'd be right there with ya.

Not interested in a trade with the Wild involving RNH, I don't see any scenario in which we don't lose the trade. I like Coyle and Zucker and a few other pieces, but I don't see a fit there. Maybe something can be worked out for Eberle?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Funny thing is if they get another Dman, they will lose him or Sekera to the expansion draft anyways.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Come on, Nuge is definitely better than Grandlund.

 

[Orca Whalers]

RNH for Dumba is flat out awful. Oiler's fans need to boycott the team if Chirelli makes another lopsided trade. I know your team needs D but c'mon you'd be trading 2 former 1 picks plus another in Yakupov (who has little value right now)

 

[The Blue Llama]

Come on, Nuge is definitely better than Grandlund.

Is he? I mean Granlund has 16 more PO points than RNH

But really, the kid goes beast in the playoffs and with all factors considered, RNH isn't that much of an upgrade.

Eberle would be even worse

 

[NotYou]

As a wild fan I'd be happy with rnh for dumba. Oil probably shouldn't do it. Worried that fletcher will get a different piece though

 

[DJJones]

Haha, never thought of that

 

[VainGretzky]

They can't he has a NMC and has to be protected.

 

[TheNumber4]

RNH isn't getting traded. I am certain Chia wants to see elite center depth.

 

[Beerz]

I might feel bad for Oil fans if it were RNH for Dumba straight up.

 

[Joey Moss]

Please god no. I can sort of stomach Larsson for Hall even though I nearly passed out when I heard the news.

RNH for Dumba I don't think I can handle.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Not if they go 8+1.

McDavid: exempt

LD
Eberle
Lucic (if he signs)
Sekera
Klefbom
Larsson
Davidson
Traded for defenseman

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Thanks dude.


Been a rough day and despite it being an awful trade I'd no longer be shocked if it happened.

 

[FightingIrish17]

Edmonton is no longer negotiating from a position of weakness. They aren't desperate for D and won't lose another trade just to make a trade (RNH for Dumba). My guess Chia doesn't get good value and keeps RNH.

 

[tomd]

Have a hard time believing that Dumba is worth either RNH or Drasaitl. He is no longer the disaster he was but still has a long way to go to be mentioned as a top 2 defender.

 

[voxel]

Please god no. I can sort of stomach Larsson for Hall even though I nearly passed out when I heard the news.

RNH for Dumba I don't think I can handle.

+1

Never a fan of Dumba. I could get behind a RNH for Spurgeon trade.
