[Proposal] Van - Minn


Recommended Posts

Vancouver gets 

Victor Rask 

Matt Dumba 

Matthew Boldy 

 

Minnesota gets 

Bo Horvat 

Jack Rathbone 

Luke Schenn 

 

Let’s hear everyone rip this one apart lol 

 

Minnesota finally gets their centre they have been looking for and moving Dumba’s cap hit out at the cost of Boldy and Rask 

Vancouver finally gets a legit top 4 RHD and a 5 star prospect in Boldy and a capable NHL 3C in Rask and losing Rathbone and Horvat sucks but this will make Canucks better

Its not unreasonable, but I dont think Dumba makes us better in the areas we need to be. 

Losing Horvat messes us up a lot at center, especially if it ends up being decided that Petey should play wing instead. 

We could make sacrifices for a top-4 D that is a top tier shutdown defenseman, but otherwise, probably pass.

The Wild obviously don't make the trade given their winning record.  Doesn't make any kind of sense to upset their team just yet.  It would also make their team worse as Horvat is not really needed and it would create a hole in their top-4.  Guerin doesn't believe in rushing prospects so Rathbone would go straight to the AHL.

 

Minnesota has already found their centre.  Their top-2 lines look set in stone with how dominant they have been.

 

Guerin bought out Suter in part so he could protect Dumba in expansion and then gave him the A - doubt he is looking to trade him just yet.   With 13-15M in dead cap for the coming 3 seasons they will need prospects like Boldy to replace roster players who they can no longer afford.  The Wild are still in a rebuild and Guerin has made it clear that he is not trading any of their key prospects.  

 

Don't see how Dumba helps Vancouver - the Canucks don't have a D like Suter or Brodin to cover for his defensive lapses.

 

Rask is more of an F13 on the Wild.  He mostly gets in the lineup when others struggle or are injured/ill.  He doesn't have much footspeed.  Boudreau used Horvat to shutdown the Bergeron line - don't see Rask able to fill that role.  Boudreau also barely played him.  Dumba struggles to defend.  Feels like that trade would make Vancouver worse.

I would say:

 

To VAN

Dumba 

Ek 

 

To MIN

Pettersen

Poolman

 

Ek is as untouchable as they come.  Him and Kaprizov are their building blocks.  They need Ek far more than Pettersson as they have a Pettersson equivalent in Kaprizov.

 

Minnesota is very much into analytics and tracking technology.  Sportsnet using tracking technology graded Poolman's contract rather poorly.
