[Proposal] Boeser + Rathbone for Dumba


Recommended Posts

Boeser + Rathbone for Dumba. We get a RHD. Minnie gets a beloved, local boy and a young D prospect. We get a physical RHD who can slot it in our top-4. A spot in the top-6 is freed up for Podkolzin/Hoglander/Pearson. Before I get flamed, do note that I like both Boeser (who I think was our MVP last season) and Rathbone, but you have to give something good to get something good.

Dumba needs a defensive D to cover for him.  He has been pretty bad this season - so many turnovers and pinching at the wrong time.  He’s really not the kind of D Vancouver needs.

 

The Wild also don't have cap space - the buyouts are going to increase by 8M next season.  

 

The local boy argument doesn’t work btw.  Guerin has actually been moving out players with ties to Minnesota.  He feels that some players wanted to play for the Wild for family reasons vs for hockey reasons.  Minnesota is the state that has the most NHLers and they really couldn’t care less about where players are from.  Granlund, Niederreiter were fan favourites.  Kaprizov is now.

Only a complete idiot would give up two excellent young players for Dumbo.  Dumbo is small, not gifted offensively, and terrible defensively.  Add to that he’s crap without the puck, and it adds up to a craperolla player.  

Are you a Minnesota fan?  If so, go away.  

Lol. Ok, ok, I get it. Let me not catch you saying anything bad about Boeser and Rathbone then. :P

Why don't you tell him what you *really* think?  :-p
