Getting more physical

Rasmus literally sucks and isn't good. Take off dumba because he will block the trade himself. Dumba literally makes wild go.

The d-corps just gets eaten up. MN can't outscore their troubles in the Playoffs.

Yes Dumba is the hype man for the Wild and a definite glue guy, so based on that i think Billy is reluctant to do this, but Dumba's contract is problematic right now and as you should be noting the Wild are not physical enough for playoff hockey. Risto has long been miscast in the wrong role he is a 3rd or 4th d man not a 1 or 2. Dumba is the superior defenseman but Wild are getting a good deal on Giroux.

teams just need to leave Ristolainen alone and let PIT take him in FA for a steal, considering they are one of the few teams who can fix him, if that's possible.
Of course then he'll leave and turn into Schultz in WSH or Ceci in EDM

I would much rather trade the futures and Rask (for cap purposes obviously) for Giroux than swap Dumba out for Risto to make it happen. The purpose of buying at the deadline is to improve your team, not subtract from one part of the team to help make another better when you don't need to do so whatsoever

We can move Dumba for some actual value and cap relief after this season is over
