Alflives Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Don't know if the contract is fair, but love the kid's name: DUMBA. He's gotta be tough with a name like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Odd for a bridge deal to be this high. edit: thought was $5.1 million per season > seems pretty fair read correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The dollar value is a little high at this moment but most people do expect him to keep improving. So I can see him worth every penny if he keeps progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Great deal. Kid is going to bring it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKnight Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 i dont know if im in the minority here, but im not a big fan of Dumba. He has some edge, chips in a little bit. Defensively not strong. At least when i watch the Wild. Not worth that kind of doe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Minnesota is counting on him continuing to contribute offensively. It's a decent contract. If it is an over-payment, it's a barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching him closely in the WJHC and he was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 So Trouba, here's a guy who's produced similar to you, plays sheltered minutes, and was drafted two spots higher. Perhaps you should look at the market and realize you won't get more than $5.25M on a long term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in that same tier and shouldn't expect more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
