Matt Dumba's Time in Minnesota is Coming to an End
The non-stop trade rumours involving Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba seem to finally be hitting a tipping point.
The buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter are crushing the Wild, and Dumba's $6-million cap-hit isn't desirable for the team.
They are on the fringe of the playoffs, but upgrading from Dumba could be the move that gets them concretely into contention.
Minnesota Wild insider Mike Russo believes that general manager Bill Guerin is ready to move if the right trade comes along.
If Guerin could move Dumba in a parallel move, it's likely he would do so. Dumba has played better lately, but he got off to a subpar start to his season and could be upgraded. It really wouldn't be surprising if Guerin traded Dumba in advance of the deadline, even if the team is in a playoff slot.
