I remember when this guy was really good

 

[Hattrick Kane]

He’s as cooked as Suter was

 

[BlueOil]

well thank goodness they got rid of old talent like suter

 

[Unspecified]

I guess that Pavelski is gone we can just forget when Dumba tried to f***ing kill him a couple seasons back in the playoffs.

 

[Spaced Cowboy]

Well, now I can officially become a full-time member of the Hate The Dallas Stars club.

 

[57special]

Weird player. Combination of a really good player, and a really bad player. Too young to be finished, IMO. Very likable off ice personality. Wonder what the contract looks like.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Ugh

 

[ThatGuy22]

oof. 2 years x 3.75 m per Bobby Mck

 

[aylib]

Holy shit, I didn’t think he’d be worth more than 1.5-2

 

[Vasilevskiy]

That's awful for the Stars. He's really a dumb player

 

[Rschmitz]

Getting more money than Duchene from Dallas is crazy

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Holy shit, I didn’t think he’d be worth more than 1.5-2

Me neither.

 

[meatwad4343]

He was basically unplayable for Tampa. Not sure what Dallas is doing here. Dude would fall over himself and give up break aways almost every game and was a turnstile on defense.

 

[paragon]

Can't say it's the worst contract of the off-season as it's only 2 years, but what a waste of money for a bottom pairing defenseman. He's going to make Stars fans miss Suter.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

FML

 

[Magic Mittens]

We get it Nill, you don't want the GM of the year award anymore

 

[Blindsummit]

An inexplicable atrocious signing. I can't stand him anyway because of what he did to Pavs, but he's cooked. I would rather have kept Suter for another year and I didn't like him. Nill has completely blown this FA and we have regressed considerably. This will backfire as the Stars fans will find it very hard to forgive and forget his assault on Pavs so one error and he's toast.

 

[MaxDummy]

Insert Y tho meme

 

[TheNumber4]

Thought I was the only one who LIKED what I saw out of Dumba as a Yote. Guess not, as Tampa and now the Stars are going to take a flyer on his talent.

There's alot of chaos in his game and that leads to mistakes. But there's a ton of ability here still. If someone can reign in his excesses and get him to play a more smarter, more conservative game. He can be good. Or maybe the stupidity is baked in at this point. We shall see, curious to see how this plays out.

 

[ZDH]

Usually like what the Stars do. This is bad.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

It's amazing teams continue to give Dumba $

He has been atrocious for years and lives off that fluke 17-18 season

You dump Suter who is pretty awful at this point and bring in a far worse defender

 

[BagHead]

Oooh the flavor of this signing!
He's an actually good person, so I hope he performs well enough that Stars fans start to like him.

That was not a fluke. He suffered a career altering injury in '18-19, at which time he was leading all defensemen in the NHL in goals. He won't be that player again, that's for sure, but he can still be an effective defender in the right situation.

 

[rynryn]

he's got juice in the tank, will go for big hits and keep the mood light. Absolutely love that Stars bought out Suter, then brought in Dumba. With Suter gone i felt free to like the Stars again but this cements it.

I will say, that season wasn't a fluke. He was on an even better pace the following season.

Until he tore his pec fighting Tkachuk. That was the death knell for him. His shot never recovered.
