Detroit declines.

Dumba for a fringe bottom player, a cap dump and an "i do not know how to assess this guy" D-man? Nope, we would have to deny.

Everyone declines. You’re really trying to acquire players for a few spare parts?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see DeKeyser on LTIR to be honest. So there’s no way I take on Neal for 2 years and give a second rounder for Lagesson.

Bear is better than dumba and he’s overpaid aswell. No thanks

Bear is not better than Dumba by any means. I would not trade Dumba for him as he is just meh imo.

Lol Dumba is levels better than bear. If you were Edmonton gm and didn’t take this deal in a heartbeat you’d be fired. This is a horrible trade for Minnesota. Absolute rip off.

I'm genuinely interested, why do you think Bear is better than Dumba. Let's see some stats:

Dumba:
51 games played
6 goals, 21 points
75 blocks, 74 hits
xGF 19,3 / xGA 14,7
2+1=3 in playoffs

Bear:
43 games played
2 goals, 8 points
55 blocks, 31 hits
xGF 12,9 / xGA 15,4
0+0=0 in playoffs

Dumba is more physical, more experienced (7 played seasons to 2), better in the offensive zone and very even in the defensive zone.

Why does Yanni waive full
NTC

Honestly I'd rather keep the 2nd and DDK over Lagesson. Neal is a cap dump and unless you're giving 2 2nd rd picks for I doubt anyone will take him.

Same, Lagesson doesn’t provide anything we don’t already have. I don’t mind taking on Neal but Edmonton fans would rather take the 1.916M x 4 year buyout.

Lagesson is an AHLer and has no value. Dekeyser has less negative value than Neal. How did this trade make any sense in your head?

Wings deal is laughable. We take on two years and an Mid Level prospect and we give up a 2nd. Sooner or later Neal for Larkin is going to pop up from delusional Oilers fan.

Quite literally every team that's not the Oilers declines lol.

This return for Dumba doesn't address any needs, and the value isn't any good.
