His cap hit must be fairly large though.
No. Tired of essentially gambling on other people’s leftovers as our only move. Fucking trade someone! Even if just to make space for AHLers to come up and grow.
No. Adding yet another underperforming veteran isn’t the answer
God I hate Dumba and the man has been critical of the Blues in the past. This ain’t 2018 anymore
Dumba’s going to be cut? I bet army has a 5 year contract ready to give him
No
Fool me once, same on you.
Fool me 5000 times, shame on us thinking we can pull a veteran defenseman reclamation project off the scrap heap and shore up this defense.
Since Colt is already wearing 55 we wouldn’t be able to even have him at full Dumba55 power
If Matt Dumba was a forward of the same level (formerly quite good, now a bit of a veteran journeyman who very well may be washed up), I’d probably take a flier. We’re that depleted up front.
But on defense, while we’re not any good, a player like Dumba doesn’t do much to shore anything up.
I’d rather bring back Suter
Would it be a Dumb(a) move to pick him up? Haven’t been following him.
Good heavens no. Play Kessel.
Please dont grab this guy
No.
Genuinely asking – why is this on the Blues feed? Has it been suggested that the Blues sign Dumba?
