While the Minnesota Wild are in the playoff hunt, one of their players is very much on the trade block.

There is some bad blood between Matt Dumba and management, and as a pending UFA, there is essentially no way he re-signs.

Now, Dumba has been healthy scratched, which indicates that a trade is imminent.

When head coach Dean Evason was asked about the scratching he responded very vaguely:

We had a real good meeting. He knows why he's sitting out tonight.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
