Would be a disastrous acquisition.
Hopefully Dumba55's NTC saves Dorion from himself.

They tried to get Burns didn’t they? Would have been a good #4 vet I’d say, plus he can be nasty.Exactly.
Plays a pretty physical game but isn’t big and that style has taken a toll.
Christ, the guy is lighter than Brannstrom.
They should have done the Burns move this summer. At least he can fall back on size and shot when the skating goes.
Klingberg got $7M for one year. Not bad at all. Dumba will not get $7M.Just playing devils advocate.
What if Dumba and his agent scouted the market and the current cap situations of teams ? What if they don’t want to be in a John Klingberg situation this summer ?
Dumba is 29 to start next year I think 4.5*5 is very fair for him but what do I kno
Where is he thick? Body? Head?branny is thiccc tho
Is there a way we could include a player like Kyle Turris and then pretend like his trade value wasn't part of the value given up? Those were fun arguments.I'm guessing a 3-way trade could be in the works between the Sens, Yotes and Wild
Minnesota replaces Dumba with Chychrun, who's better and importantly will be cheaper, as they have cap issues.
Sens give futures to add and extend Dumba, with some extra thrown in for Arizona to take on Zaitsev
Arizona gets a haul of prospects, picks and young players
Could see the Sens giving up their 1st (lottery or top 10 protected) to add Dumba and dump Zaitsev, especially since a Dumba extension will almost certainly mean DeBrincat isn't re-signing (won't be enough money for both) and we'd get a replacement 1st from some team for him later on.
Sens love physical D and don't give a crap about whether they are smart or can actually play good defense.
Could see them throwing a 6M+ contract at Dumba.

I don't think Bruce has a f***ing clue what's going on with the Senators. His source is dead and his career isn't too far behind either.Well Bruce was on air saying it, and specifically said it would be with an extension as the plan. He doesn't seem to have the inside track he used to have since Melnyk passed away though, so hopefully it's just hot air.
I really can't see it happening (at least not as described) so you'll probably be fine.I think I'm gonna be sick.
Sounds like a good deal.
So we acquire Dumba a more offensive D man who's offence has dried up and who's defence was never a strength , to provide the Wild a chance to acquire and sign the younger , cheaper and better Chychrun... When I put it like that . it seems quite plausible.. If Dorion is not just playing GM and actually has the green light to put anything kind of substantial commitment on the books. At one time I liked Dumba because of the package including physicality he brought. I think there is some truth to to the toll that physicality takes on a smaller body.

We've debated this in to the ground and I can see we wouldn't see eye to eye on it and a reply would require a long post I've probably made 10 times over already, so I will respectfully pass, but I appreciate the response.It was basically Turris and a 1st for Duchene which is a fair price to pay.
The 3rd rd. pick, Bowers and Hammond amounted to nothing.
The 3rd rd. pick in a fairly weak draft was equivalent to a spin of the roulette wheel.
Bowers; Management correctly guessed that he was expendable.
Hammond: AHL goalie easily replaced.
So Turris and a 1st. The 1st shouldn't have been so high but that's life. Byram, while he has awesome raw tools, really hasn't been able to do much yet. Not saying he never will, but so far, 5 years after the deal went down, he still hasn't established himself as a contributing force.
Byram has been pretty good actually. But, he has had some injury issues.So Turris and a 1st. The 1st shouldn't have been so high but that's life.

Dorion better not have the green light to make deals like this. Because holy shit this would be monumentally stupid.
Let someone competent fix the D in the summer.
Bowers was only drafted drafted 4 months earlier and would have played maybe a dozen games since, to wright him off as not part of the value given up is highly dubious regardless of whether management felt he was expendable or not. They probably would have felt Jokiharju, Timmons, Hague or Robertson were expendable too at that point had they drafted them instead, just because prospect busts doesn't mean they didn't carey value in a trade at that time,Bowers; Management correctly guessed that he was expendable.
Made no sense on day 1.Minnesota trading Fiala instead of Dumba to fix their cap issues was massively stupid.
