NHL Rumors: Mathew Dumba and Jake Virtanen

Murat Ates of The Athletic: With the signing of Jonas Brodin, it appears that Dumba is indeed available. Winnipeg needs a top-four defenseman. This is like the deserts missing the rain. If want ever intersected with need, this is it.

Dumba receives $6 million AAV for the next three years and his limited NTC does not kick in until next summer. So, there is a window for Minnesota to strike. Ideally, Bill Guerin wants a second line center but a Nik Ehlers or Patrik Laine would definitely more than do.
