— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 10, 2025 Dumba was once a good player, very good even with a 50-point season in 2017-18 and he was even a major driver of offense as late as 2021.
Those days are long over, though. Since leaving Minnesota in 2023 and playing for three different teams (Arizona, Tampa, Dallas), it’s been tough going for Dumba, ending with the Stars having to attach a second round pick to drop him.
