Will be weird not to see Dumba in the Central.
Who cares
Man this is already his 4th team after his time on the Wild
Say what you want about Dumba but he was an incredible locker room presence and honestly if we could have signed him to a league minimum type deal and bring him back as a 7th D or something like that, I’d maybe do it.
He routinely made mistakes, but it’s not like he was terrible.. he got robbed of his most lethal weapon and had to figure out how to play the game differently and if that pec tear never happened, he would have been in the same realm as people like Shea Weber. Also his game changing ability to just obliterate people with clean checks deserves some recognition. Dude was entertaining.
Dubas finally got him!
Didn’t (almost) cost him William Nylander this time.
