No matter what year it is for the Minnesota Wild, Matt Dumba’s name always gets brought up in some sort of offseason trade rumor.
Well this time around the stakes are a little bit higher with the Seattle Kraken coming into the league and the expansion draft happening in several weeks. They are going to take someone from the Wild no matter what and it might just be Dumba if GM Bill Guerin can’t mold the roster to do what he wants.
With five players having No-Move Clauses on their deal — Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Mats Zuccarello, Jonas Brodin, and Jared Spurgeon — the Wild are handcuffed to who they protect, unless one of them decides to waive it in an effort to keep the team together.
