A very likable group. Cooley & Dumba are both big-time competitors who hate to lose, especially Cooley
Confirmed with Link: Coyotes sign Matt Dumba to a 1 year, 3.9M contract

I don't he's going to contribute much on the ice, but it never hurts to have a King Clancy winner around, especially in a room full of kids. Hopefully he embraces a leadership role and mentors them.

With Soderstrom, I feel like he either breaks out and becomes a top 4 dman this season or he completely flames out and gets traded early for spare parts. I don’t see much in between
His style is so incongruous to the kinda players BA likes and the identity the team is starting to build. He’s not gonna impress anyone with his size or speed and he definitely isn’t gonna get the benefit of the doubt from anyone. He’s gotta have a huge training camp.

I'm still waiting for a Soda - Hanafin trade.

How does he compare to 32 year old Patrik Nemeth? Because that's who he's replacing.
I'm just happy to have 6 actual NHL defensemen.

Matt Dumba signs one-year contract with Coyotes, marking end of a decade with the Wild
As unsurprising as Matt Dumba's exit is, that doesn't diminish the significance of his absence from the Wild — or the role he played in his 10 seasons with the team.

Soderstrom hasn’t proved he’s too good for the AHL. I haven’t seen any break out performances by him at any level. He hasn’t earned an nhl job. He’s entitled to nothing. He’s got a two way deal and he’s waivers exempt. He can go to Tucson and finally show something.
If Dumba is pretty good at D still then that will relieve a lot of pressure on Moser/Valimaki. Feel like we will see plenty of Brown for penalty killing.A look from the other side…. (and from another former Coyotes beat writer.)

BA had previously stated that Soderstrom was Tucson's best player last year, and after his call up, while shaky at times, he started to gain confidence was playing not to bad ending the season. I don't think anyone said he is guaranteed a NHL, rather he deserves a good look at training camp. Where he ends up is entirely up to him.

I love this signing.
I was nervous about giving him term. Now he can audition for term with this scrappy team.

Why the Wild, and their fans, will miss Matt Dumba: Seven stories, from pranks to hammers to the 'heartbeat'
Dumba's lengthy Wild tenure officially came to an end, with the 29-year-old leaving in free agency.

Really great read. You can start to understand why Fischer was so important to the room if he had half of the qualities that are outlined here. I'm glad we replaced those intangibles that he brought and did it with adding not only Dumba but Zucker and Bjudstadt too. Reading this gives me the idea that this team will bleed for each other and may have the biggest "us vs the world" mentality in the league.

Dumba was a real team guy in MN, but i wonder if his buy in in ARI might be affected by his short term contract. Not a big thing, maybe, but a thing.
It might even be a good thing. Having a more selfish, emotionally uninvolved Dumba might not be a bad thing on ice. His mistakes tend to happen when he gets all revved up, and overcommits on hits, and joining the rush.

I'm really hoping that Dumba and Zucker make a difference in our road record. We absolutely have the makings of a playoff team when the young players mature a year or so and we add Comrade Forward and Comrade Defensky.

I have confidence in Coach Tourigny to keep Dumba's mistakes to a minimum.
Dumba is a great catch, at this price and term, the risks are almost inexistent considering that he is a great team guy. He will bring some important experience to the backend and should get some decent stats with a team that likes to attack and will play quite freely.
