He'll be taken 3rd IMO behind Yakupov and Grigorenko. The guy has everything: size, mobility, speed, IQ, leadership.
Huh? that is one of things he is lacking.

Here's my question...is Dumba from asian nationality? Or where does the last name "Dumba" come from?

In depth look at Mathew (Matt) Dumba in the latest installment of The Next Ones at THW:

You might gather than I am just a little high on Dumba's prospects to contribute in the big league...
All I know is he scores a crapload of goals at the junior level, like he's probably going to get 20+ this year which is Ryan Ellis levels of production. Weber only ever got 12. His shot and offensive instincts are first-class. He's honestly a PK Subban clone (which I love), 2 more years in junior for this kid and will be perfect to hone his skills and balance out his game.
Dumba is regularly lost in the defensive zone, and is a pretty weak skater. He will need alot of time developing before he ever has success above major junior.
Lol sure.
I completely disagree. If you want to point out other parts of his game that is fair, but skating is not an issue.Its true. His skating stride is awkward. It won't translate well to the next level because his lateral agility is pretty bad. He is ok in straight lines, but if he wants to be a high end defenseman, he'll need to work on his skating.

People sleep on his defensive zone play and his smarts. I think it's because of the early scouting on him. He is +5 playing a lot of time on a team that's just above .500. People reciting early critisisms need to take a second look at this kid. He plays in all situations now, he is much more disciplined and he's really gained the coaching staff's trust.
