Don't get impression he is totally in the Wild's plans either. Not sure Vancouver has tools to pry though - what do you think it would take? A Dumba/OJ pairing could be one of the leagues top pairs in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Vancouver has tools to pry though - what do you think it would take? A Dumba/OJ pairing could be one of the leagues top pairs in a few years. He’s 23 fits our age group, super talented offensively, RHD, just coming off a breakout 50 point season, plays a ton of minutes. He’s exactly what this team could use. I read somewhere that Wild would hope to do a 4 year $4.5 million contract but that seems like hope and dreams for what his comparables are getting: Barrie gets 5.5, Hamilton gets 5.75, Reilly gets 5.0, Krug gets 5.25, His own teammate Spurgeon gets 5.187 (a contract signed 2 years ago) while playing a very similar role. I can’t see Dumba getting anything lower than 5.25. I don’t know what the Wild would be willing to part with, they are really tight with the cap with and need to resign Zucker as well, so cap space is one need but it’s going to take more than that to get him. They are loaded with prospect (Ek, Greenway, Kaprizov, Kunin) so they don’t really need any of our young propsects They have quite good young D depth, (Olofsson, Seeler) so they don’t really need a player like Hutton/Pouliot I would put him in the Hamilton type value of a return which landed the Bruins a 15th overall + 45th overall + 52nd overall. But since they are mostly in a win now mode due to being locked up in aging contracts I’m not sure if they would be looking for picks as the focal point. Honestly if they were moving Dumba, a player they would have the most interest in is Tanev. They could really use a top 4 RHD replacement that knows how to shutdown top lines. Obviously it would be packaged on both sides but that’s likely who they would look for. Dumba + Ennis (cap dump) for Tanev + Granlund? I don’t know maybe a bit more on our end. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Westcoasting Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2018 On 6/15/2018 at 9:57 AM, Rob_Zepp said: I do follow the Canes and they are not trying to "get rid of" Noah but they are a bit frustrated with his development in terms of play in his own end. He is still very young but it appears he could have used another year or two outside the NHL to develop as the baptism by fire route may not have been ideal for his career. The Canes are fine up front in many ways but lack physicality and ability to win puck battles. They have scoring talent but not the dirty goal type. If I had to choose between Noah and OJ, as I have said before, it would be a tough call for me as I like both players. If Noah can fix his Dzone work to even close to where OJ is now I would lean towards him but if OJ can become a 30-40 point guy in NHL with his defensive play and smarts I would want OJ. Tough call. Hey i talked with the coach yesterday at his golf tourney... they are trying to acquire more talent up front. They are seeing if someone wants a high end dman for a high pick and another high prospect. Says they are very happy with the defence going forward with or without hanifan but think they can get further with assets from hanifan trade. I asked who on Canucks they like and without hesitation he said "no one actually" lmao! He's an awesome guy 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Glad to hear he is a good guy. I am pretty concerned about all the changes and if they get the bench sorted, that will help a lot. Soooo much talent on that team and in the pipeline. However bit of a stupid response on his end - great thing to post on the locker room wall....further, any coach in league not interested in Horvat, Boeser, Virtanen or Tanev as a start isn’t thinking hard enough about the job....were wiggly pops involved? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main reason for his response is if he mentioned names that could be considered tampering. Just easier to brush the question off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually a pretty cool guy but very passionate (I love how he claims Canadian's are passionate as his reason for the fabricated drama). I think he is very professional in terms of being a very strong advocate for his clients and he supports them 100% and you can see him in the rink more than most. Potty mouth on twitter may be an issue for some but to me, the guy is simply being who he is and that is a pretty candid guy. I think Canuck fans would be happy to have more of their players having a guy like Markus representing their players as he gets development, he gets big picture (e.g. long-term) and he gets loyalty. Give him a chance 73, I think he will be a good influence on OJ in his transformation to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly unprofessional. It's not even him tweeting. It's him probably getting angry on a phone call having refuted it so many times and then getting quoted by Sportsnet. If anyone's to blame it's whoever runs the Sportsnet Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
