<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Horvat trade is too much - 2 of Nashville's top 4-5 prospects, plus a 1st, plus another prospect in Matier, for a rental in Horvat? That's too big an ask for 25 games of a guy, especially for a Predators team that's 6 points out of playoff position as we speak. Not saying they can't make it, but that giving up a ton of assets for a rental when you're not even in the playoffs right now is a bad move to make.

-Boeser to the Wild doesn't make sense because the extra term on his deal is gonna hurt - the Parise/Suter buyouts are worst in '23-24 and '24-25, when Boeser will be adding $6.65 to that pile of pain. I don't think Boeser's a straight cap dump like some folks around here might, but I do think that Minnesota is an awful landing spot for him because of those cap issues.

-To tie it above - Minnesota actually has the $3M this year to retain on Dumba's deal, so if they think he's expendable (obviously they do if you have them trading him for Boeser), then why don't they cut out the middleman and offer this deal to Edmonton?

What both these Dumba deals ignore is a few things. First, Minnesota is in playoff position right now; and Dumba is giving them 21+ minutes a night to help that. Barring a complete and total collapse over the next 6 weeks, I can't see them moving him out for anything; he makes them a better team and gives them a better shot in the playoffs. Secondly, Edmonton doesn't have even the $3M to add a retained Matt Dumba, not if they want to have Evander Kane back this year; thirdly, Edmonton already has Cody Ceci, Tyson Barrie, and Evan Bouchard on their NHL team at RHD. While I won't disagree that Dumba might be better than some of those options, I also can't see them putting themselves in a bad cap situation for the sake of upgrading the right side of their blueline when it's their left side that has more depth issues.

-I'm not as high on Kuzmenko as you are. Guys just don't shoot 24% over an 82 game season when they're shooting the puck as much as he does (literally, the list of guys who've shot 24% is incredibly short) and I wouldn't want to give up a premium asset for a guy that has a big shot at regressing back to the mean - hell, even if winds up a 17% shooter this year (still very high!) it means that he's only got 6-7 goals left in him at his current shooting percentage. If *you* want to bet on him putting up an all-time shooting season, by all means, go for it - I just think it's setting yourself up for failure.</div></div>

I like you but you’re crazy! 😳
