Trade talk heats up with the Senators as a potential fit for pending UFA Matt Dumba? Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin is faced with a decision similar to the Calgary Flames and Johnny Gaudreau last year. 

Ray has a bone to pick with Kris Abbott as he committed a betting faux-pas via text message this weekend.
