Stars trade Dumba to Penguins for Kolyachonok, '28 draft pick

DALLAS -- The Stars traded Matt Dumba to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a swap of defensemen Thursday, with Dallas getting Vladislav Kolyachonok and a 2028 second-round pick.

Dumba never had an impact after signing a $7.5 million, two-year contract in free agency last year. He was a healthy scratch for all 18 playoff games as the Stars lost in the Western Conference final for the third consecutive year.

The 30-year-old Dumba had one goal and nine assists in 63 games during the regular season. It was the fewest goals for Dumba since scoring one in 13 games as a rookie with Minnesota in 2013-14.
