Good deal for Minny.
Had a breakout year and put up big numbers, albeit with the Boudreau effect. Seems like a dman in a similar mold as Faulk.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

They'll be lucky to get Hyman+ on this contract.

I hope he’s closer to a PK Subban type mold, but time will tell.

 

[AKL]

Just what I expected. Great deal, will be a bargain by the end of it.

Why did they sign him so late at night?

Fletcher: WYD?

Dumba: Thinking about stuff... Contract stuff.

I'm not sure why Dumba would be talking to Fletcher about it at 2AM. I don't think they were ever that close.

$1.2 million AAV

All goofing aside, good deal for the Wild.

 

[Lapa]

Nice.

 

[Sam Spade]

A player who has actually gotten better every season he has been in the league.

If this progression continues, and I'm sure it will, this deal is a steal for Fenton.

 

[Del Preston]

I had no idea he put up 50 points last season.

 

[Paul4587]

Given what Rielly and Lindholm went for this is a horrific contract. Doesn’t help Jets with Trouba either.

Ya he should hit 120 points by 2023-24.

Don't expect any huge progression - he's 24 and aging curves are showing that that's nowadays that's actually around players production primes

Steals of contracts do not make other contracts horrific.

Hopefully Trouba's asking for 8+ though

Fair deal

Why, Dumba's numbers are on par with Reilly's and Lindholm's, he doubled Reilly in goals, and he isn't a minus player either?

Also, if the playoffs were any indication, Trouba is pretty overrated.

I don't believe that at all when it comes to D-men, prime example John Carlson.

 

[Funk21]

Fair deal but I would have added to the AAV to add more term if you ask me. I’m guessing this deal takes him to UFA, rather lock up years at least years 6 and 7. That would have taken him to 30, he has a great trade asset just before decline when he can be somebody else’s problem IMO.

He's 24 (in 4 days) now so it takes him to 29.

Dumba is not on Reilly and Lindholm's level.

I don't know why you're mentioning +/- as if it's relevant.

1 example does not prove me wrong.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Too much by about 1.5 per

 

[Sens]

Too much by about 1.5 per

7.5% of the cap (% will go down as the cap rises)
For a 50 point defenseman who eats 24 minutes a night

Great deal

Those contracts should not be directly compared. Dumba was bridged. Lindholm and Rielly were not.

Dumba's post-ELC, RFA compensation comes out at $35.1 mil over 7 years. That will end up being less than what Lindholm and Rielly earn over the same span in their careers, assuming Rielly gets a raise and Lindholm doesn't take a paycut in the 1st year of their next contracts.

Criticizing this contract is really criticizing Minnesota for not gambling on Dumba. Doing that, however, ignores the benefit the Wild recieved by going cheap with him the past two seasons.

Most likely there was a gentlemen‘s agreement in place.
He had to prove first to be worth his money...and he did.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

All this talk about points and trophee nonsense, is totally annoying.

He has so many points, he has been nominated this many times...

Just watch a player.


Personally I feel he needs to improve defensively if that is still possible. Last thing I remember he was not very good in the Jets series and was directly responsible for a couple of goals.

Uhhh yeah. Not only that but Lindholm and Reilly were both signed two years ago under a lesser cap, neither with even a 40+ point season at the time.

And anybody that doesn't think arbitration eligibility has a big effect on a player's negotiating power, look at Mantha and Athanasiou's contracts. Same team signs two players within a week of each other. Mantha is clearly the better player, but only gets $300K/per more because he didn't have arbitration rights and AA did.
