I may not be as in touch as Slake, but I've been hearing a few rumblings. I would not be surprised to see one more trade before july 1st

I haven't heard anything else either, but I would assume based on my roster projection of where we stand tonight that Dumont is not slotted into our top-six, is too expensive to play third line, and is trade bait...
I look at our lineup tonight as missing one top-six (preferably 1st line) forward...
Wilson - XXX - Erat
Sullivan - Goc - Hornqvist
Ward - Legwand - Halischuk/Boyd
Spaling - Smithson - Tootoo
Belak - O'Reilly
Suter - Weber
Klein - Parent
Bouillon - Franson
Rinne
(Dekanich)
Obviously, with Wilson showing that he can play either center or wing we have flexibility in filling that final hole and I see moving Dumont as also potentially freeing up cash to re-sign Grebeshkov to bump Parent down a little and further strengthen our D corps. O'Reilly must fight for a roster spot until he solidifies himself as an NHL player and Boyd will also be an interesting spot to watch too with the addition of Halischuk and whether or not Spaling makes the lineup to start next year.
