No. 6: Matt Dumba
Dumba’s another player that has been rumored to the Leafs for a long-time and it makes sense.
His contract was reasonable ($6M AAV) and he was a right-handed.
Despite his size, he’s a physical player to play against and someone who battles on every possession.
He’s the type of defenseman that Toronto desperately needs and is someone who should be very high on their list.
His offensive numbers have dropped over the years, but I feel like they could be elevated in Toronto as the Leafs skillset is much better than the Wild’s.
At 28-years-old, Dumba is going to highly coveted as a UFA this summer, but that shouldn’t scare the Leafs from looking to trade for him.
This team is in a win-now mode so trading for someone who they probably can’t afford to sign next year is fine.
