Rumor: Maple Leafs send big offer to the Wild for Matt Dumba

The Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling of late and continue to work the phones trying to find upgrades to their defence and back up goaltender. With the latest reports of Matt Dumba being available from the Minnesota Wild, the two teams could be the match made in heaven the Leafs are looking for.

According to sources the teams have had dialogue around the defenceman, with the Maple Leafs offering the Wild defensive prospect, Timothy Liljegren, forward Andreas Johnsson and defenseman, Cody Ceci. GM, Bill Guerin is believed to be interested in moving Dumba to the east coast.

The Wild are expected to move Dumba to free up some cap space moving forward, as the team is strapped with players on huge contracts, with no-move clauses. Dumba does not have any trade protection.

Look for both teams to be active as we approach the trade deadline and Leafs Nation is pouring out it's hope for a Dumba acquisition, sooner than later.
