NHL Rumors: Matt Dumba Gets The Business Side But Hopes He Can Remain With The Minnesota Wild

Dane Mizutani of the Pioneer Press: Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba has had his name in the rumor mill this offseason but he said he’d like to stay in Minnesota and doesn’t want to move anywhere.

“He wouldn’t be being a good GM if he did otherwise,” Dumba said. “We understand that. The transparency between me and Billy has been good. I’ve honestly (blocked out) a lot of those thoughts when I do see (the trade rumors).”

Before Dumba’s injury last season he was close to a 30-goal pace, and if he could continue that type of play, it’s possible that he could make himself too valuable to move.
