Friedman: Arizona interested in Matt Dumba

[NextYear67]

Incoming -45 season

 

[57special]

Klingberg also got exposed in Anaheim. Dumba is a rhd so if he’s gone this long without good offers says a lot about where he is as a Dman.

Dumba isn't perfect defensively, but he is way better than Klingberg in that respect. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doubles his point total next year, either. He's fine physically.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Or perhaps he is waiting for Toronto to deal Brodie so he can sign for, let's say, approximately $2.9M on a one-year deal. Not that I think that is particularly smart but hey.

Countering your weak attempt at humor with a fact: last season Arizona's worst D +/- was Josh Brown with a -18 in 68 GP, 15:46 TOI/GP.

Next.

I have to imagine he also had a ridiculous share of d zone starts. Which makes stellar +/- difficult on any player.

It's crazy that Matt Dumba has never been traded after all those rumors.

Lmao, sure showed me

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Yes and I am interested in Abigail Ratchford.

Had to google it who he is.

Or he has gotten offers and he balked them. That would suck if true for him going into August lol

I mean why get rid of Chychrun then?

 

[Brodeur]

I mean why get rid of Chychrun then?

Chychrun did ask for a trade. And in real dollars, Chychrun is due 5.4 million this year and 7 million next year. I'd imagine that their offer for Dumba is for less than than.

I know Chychrun has played both sides on defense, but perhaps Arizona was happy with the first year contributions of Juuso Valimaki and J.J. Moser on the left side. So they might prefer a veteran right shot D like Dumba now.

To get Daniil But and two 2nd round picks.

That would be a terrible move for Toronto. Absolutely terrible.

Dumba needs to be smart about where he goes. Klingberg left Lindell/Heiskenan as a partner and got exposed in Anaheim. Turned down $7 mill AAV over 8 years thinking he could get more. He's now at $12.15mill over 2 years. Trending now if he remains in the $4 mill range over the next 6 years, he's going to be close to $20 mill behind what he could have gotten had he accepted the Stars offer

Dumba needs to go somewhere if he needs to do a 1 year term to get his game to a level that gives him a chance at a good offer next season. He's 29 now, 30 next year.

 

[StuckOutHere]

That would be a terrible move for Toronto. Absolutely terrible.

This is based on the fact Friedman reported the Leafs interest at the beginning of July. As I said, I don't think it's smart either.

oddly enough, despite Klingberg failing in Anaheim, I think Anaheim is an ideal spot for a short deal this year for Dumba. They have a young core that will be better just by maturing. They added Killorn and Gudas. Adding Dumba would push down Gudas. Dumba would play with Fowler

For this, maybe Anaheim could make another interesting move or two at the same time, kind of to convince Dumba to come over, by bolstering the depth a bit.

I actually think Dumba is better away from Brodin. When playing with lesser partners he seems to step up defensively and take more responsibility. He has always been an enthusiastic defender, just lacked sound decision making when he was younger.

Klingberg is lost defensively. There's no reason physically that he can't be a good defender, but he just seems to be lacking defensive instinct.

Dumbo and Fowler = Disaster

He’s eventually gonna take whatever the highest bid is

What rumors?

 

[Petes2424]

So basically he has an open offer from Arizona, as this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this. He’s obviously waiting for something. Whether it’s RFAs to all be taken care of, or a trade opening up a spot.

It does look like he overplayed his hand this summer.
