sounds like Nils is gone

Dumba and Lyubushkin doesnt scream win now

It screams desperation from a GM who lost his top targets.

 

[M88K]

Poor Miro. Poor Harley if he doesn't say f*** that and hold out

@Dallasman - you should tell your source to kick Nill in the balls.

well he couldn't very well sign no one lol. so yeah, desperate times make for desperate measures.

 

[piqued]

All of these moves on defense are straight downgrades compared to their predecessors IMO.

 

[Henderson33]

Fixed that.

I edited my post to try and compare to what we went into last season with, It looks about the same to me. Very underwhelming.

We're going to be in the exact same spot come deadline day desperately needing a top 4 RHD.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Not only is signing Dumba a mistake, but two years at 3.75....

Schmidt would of been miles better than Dumba, or even Ghost

 

[ElGuapo]

Never thought I'd long for Ryan Suter.

If I was Duchene I'd have reneged and signed somewhere else for more money once I saw what happened to the defense.

 

[Elysian]

Guess we don't gotta worry about Nill going for the threepeat

What sucks about the Dumba contract is it is two seasons. If you're going to sign a garbage player because you need a warm body, being stuck with him two seasons hurts.

This tells me how much of an insufferable asshole Suter must be if they're willing to overpay and go another year on a terrible player like Dumba just to not have to have Suter around.

I'm fine with Smith and Lyub, but Dumba and at two years!! f*** sakes Nill

Should of been below 2M a season if it was two years

[SolidusAKA]

I would be fine if this was Ghost instead of Dumba...this really sucks

 

[Unspecified]

If we can somehow get our hands on a time machine and toss Dumba and Smith into it going back 5 years ago it could be worth it.

 

[jballa95]

Having a #7 d-man in your top-4 is not ideal

 

[Henderson33]

Sitting at about $5.9M with Harley left to sign.

Who else can we overpay?

 

[Troy McClure]

I'm also curious if this sets up Bichsel starting the season in the AHL.

 

[joshik]

Pavelski retired because he heard that we are signing Dumba

I'm also curious if this sets up Bichsel starting the season in the AHL.

He is our 4th d right now

 

[Troy McClure]

He is our 4th d right now

We'll see.

 

[Satan]

higher chance he's in sweden than in dallas

 

[joshik]

We'll see.

Its our only hope but having all LD sucks

 

[redbeardtx]

Lybushkin? FFS
