The Minnesota Wild are in desperate need of hypothetical cap space, so we traded a hypothetical defenseman in our hypothetical 2021 NHL Draft to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Matt Dumba is on his way to Philadelphia, and so is his contract paying him $6 million a year. In return, we got a pretty sweet deal that will help the future core of this team.
Wild receive: Flyers 2021 1st-round pick (13th overall), F Elliot Desnoyers
Flyers receive: D Matt Dumba
Doing so gets the Wild their third first-round selection this year and a young winger that projects to be a solid middle-six with some scoring upside that the Flyers drafted in the fifth round just last year.
