Dumba is a top pairing right shot Dman with offensive ability and plays physical.
I think of the Backlund comparison same as the Voraecek one with Johnny. Why would the Flames trade their 27 year old first line winger for a 31 year old? Why are the Wild trading their 26 year old top pairing D for a 31 year old?
Especially where the Wild are in their current team makeup.
