Sorry but Sandin is absolutely off limits.

(Whispers)* Dumba is also overrated on this site, and that was true before his down year.

(Runs for cover)

TML doesnt need Dumba, we have enough two-way wingers playing as D already.....

Just to elaborate on @Random2152 's point, Sandin is cost controlled and will be needed starting next season regardless of the help needed on the right side.

I think if trade happens for a RHD, it will at the cost of forwards and prospects.

Yikes that is A LOT for Brodin

I’d be a big supporter of the Leafs bringing in Dumba. I don’t think they’d move Sandin in the package as they need NhL ready dmen on entry level deals.

I think the trade offer itself it fair, but just see it being a Jonsson or Kapanen instead of Sandin, for cap purposes if nothing else and because Minny needs scoring.

For me, I see Dumba as a guy that is capable of cranking the intensity switch in the post season...something I haven’t really seen with many leaf players the past couple years. He’s priced right at $6m and his age matches up with the core of our squad.

Yeah Sandin probably has a higher potential than Dumba but you're right that this trade doesn't make sense for the Wild at all. The point of moving Dumba/Brodin would be to improve the offense.

I think there could be a mutual fit...will depend on how highly each GM view their's and the other's assets.
