Might even provide a cushion to keep Goc too!

I am well aware that Dumont has a NMC clause. I also really like Dumont. However, as I said at the beginning of the season, he needs to be somewhere else. He is not a fourth line player, and he is useless there. Additionally, a 4 million dollar salary for a fourth liner that can't check on this team is, as we both know, crippling our roster. I think Dumont would accept a trade to the right place, but like you said, this is probably an off-season thing (if even that is possible).
