We don't need Dumba, especially if we are trade Eichel for futures package. Rossi is questionable because of his health and we also didn't draft him, but we could. Talbot also has no value to us in this case.
Dumba would be for cap/expansion purposes from Minnesota's side. For Buffalo, they would protect him in expansion and then flip him for more picks/prospects after the expansion when teams don't have to worry about protecting him.
Rossi is expected to recover from Covid with time. Just because they picked Jack Quinn over him doesn't mean they don't like him it just means that they liked Quinn more. I'm sure they would have loved to take both of them. Consensus around the league is that Rossi is a valuable prospect.
Talbot is strictly for Minnesota cap purposes. Buffalo can sign Ullmark, let Hutton walk (he's 35), and then expose Talbot. If Talbot gets picked up then so be it and they can call up Ukko-Lukonnaen or circle back on Hutton or another free agent goalie to pair with Ullmark for now.
This package leaves Buffalo with a young core of players/prospects in Cozens, Dahlin, Jokiharju, Quinn, Rossi, Boldy, an additional 1st rounder plus whatever Dumba is flipped for (another 1st+prospect) or solid young player. I was looking at the flyers for specifically for a Dumba flip with Morgan Frost and a pick. But there will be a lot of interest in Dumba after the expansion especially because Buffalo would have the capspace to take back a short term bad contract to make it work if need be.
