I think it's a tougher call than an automatic YES for the Wild. Dumba has a chance...not for sure, but a chance to be a top 10 defenseman in the NHL. He's got all the skill in the world (can skate like the wind, shoot, hands, toughness, etc)...it's just a matter of whether or not the game slows down for him. Bennett might be a perennial 40 goal guy too...so both teams are giving up players that might be great some day. If I ran the Wild and the Flames demanded Granlund be included - I would want Engelland removed from Calgary's side and have a 2nd rounder thrown in instead. I don't want anything to do with Engelland and his contract if I run the Wild.
I haven't checked to see if my counter offer works cap-wise for either team...but value-wise, they make more sense...at least to me.
