Piecing together some tidbits from our beat writer's article today, article can be found at: https://theathletic.com/2104772/2020/09/30/russo-what-im-hearing-about-the-wilds-offseason-so-far/
"Calgary has shown interest [in Dumba], but I don’t get the impression that the Wild are really interested even if the Flames were willing to trade Sean Monahan" Maybe a 3 way deal could work where Dumba is sent to Calgary but Monahan goes to another team who is looking to shake things up?
"The Sharks are one team that has shown interest [in Donato]."
And additionally Sharks writer @KKurzNHL at The Athletic tweeted
"As @RussoHockey mentions here, the Sharks may be interested in Devan Dubnyk and Ryan Donato.
From what I understand, there are some real legs to this. Feels like we could — key word, could — be looking at some sort of package deal for both."
Sounds like Donato and Dubnyk to San Jose could be on the horizon. Speculation on my part but the Sharks could look to make big some changes this offseason, they had a pretty underwhelming year considering their roster is pretty talented.
Russo mentioned that a Byfuglien signing could happen, he met with Guerin a couple weeks ago and while it is unlikely at this point maybe a condensed season would entice Byfuglien.
Wilson does this he throws feelers out All the time
This trade is hot garbage btw no thank you!
I suppose I can understand that, but Russo has never been one to print random rumors. He doesn't go to print without corroboration. It's more than just one GM talking to him.

I’m not saying this is random, in fact I’d be betting it’s accurate.
What I’m saying is Wilson is known in the league to get serious and then back off or go a different route last min. he does this all the time I’m hoping this is what is going on cause I can’t think of why you’d want 2 high cap hit goalies over 30 coming off back to back poor seasons. Unless he has a deal in place to trade Jones

That has to be really frustrating as a fan to have things changing that suddenly. I'm really spoiled having Russo as our beat writer and having GMs who are mostly straight shooters, even if some of them are off their rocker, like Fenton.
For the Sharks' sake, I hope they don't take Dubnyk. I really don't think he has anything left.
