Well…the Wild certainly couldn’t pass that deal up…

Seems like a raw deal for the Leafs

wow that's bad for the leafs

If the wild were to do something like this, it would probably have to lead to a Zuccarello sized trade, which I am sure they would figure it out.

I see the logic behind the deal, but I don't like it for the Leafs as it weakens the 2nd line considerably..... Roberston is unproven and playing Jarnkrök in the top 6 makes me luke warm.

Sure, Dumba is a massive upgrade on the back end for sure, but I think this exposes the first line to playing much tougher competition on a regular basis, leading to decreased production there as well.

Just don't see this one as a case of addition by subtraction.

Dumba (who doesnt fit our system) and meh 4th line C for an RFA top 4 C in the making and 2 years of Nylander

Pass

And leafs arent waiving Kerfoot
