JeremyCuddles Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Dumba took the only contract offered, and Arizona still had to overpay. That's pretty hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 And we couldn’t trade Myers with 2 mil retained?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyone Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 and just how long before Arizona cancels HIS contract? they've done that, what, 3 times in the last 75 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t aware he could kill penalties. I’m gonna assume not much better than Myers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 3 hours ago, Bob.Loblaw said: I would've been happy with Vancouver paying half of that money. Surprised he managed to still get $4M this late in the game. Would you want to play in Arizona for anything less than that What that tells me is he felt insulted by what potential contenders were offering and chose the money in a dump like Arizona instead of chasing a cup.

Curmudgeon Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Seems to me that Dumba might have been Plan B for the Penguins if the Karlsson deal fell through. In any event, Arizona will be a good landing spot for Dumba; he'll get all the ice time he wants and likely wants to prove he is still an offensive threat. (Narrator: He is not.) I like him a lot......playing for any team but Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Interested to see how this turns out. Dumba could still turn it around recovering from his injury takes time but he still has a lot to offer I think people around here under rate him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Canuck You said: Arizona always over-paying for scraps..either to meet the cap floor or just because. What a crap franchise. Move to Quebec already. Arizona may end up playing in ice rink inside a shopping mall and Bettman will probably still fight for the franchise to stay in Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t aware he could kill penalties. I’m gonna assume not much better than Myers? Actually, Dumba is okay killing penalties. Myers is especially bad, compounded by the fact that he himself can't stay out of the box. So indeed a slightly better player in every regard. Cheaper. Younger. But more injury prone. Still massively overpaid at $4 million but can be a rental somewhere else for half price. 46 minutes ago, timberz21 said: Would you want to play in Arizona for anything less than that What that tells me is he felt insulted by what potential contenders were offering and chose the money in a dump like Arizona instead of chasing a cup. Well, apparently he trains during the offseason there, so... he's probably totally okay going to the desert. If I got offered double pay (in the millions) to go somewhere lame for maximum 8 months (maybe less if traded), I'd take it. Wouldn't you? It's not like he doesn't get to travel, after all...

grandmaster Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 4M is too much. Rather play Hirose than him. He looked good in his 6 or 7 games. Hirose is also super cheap and responsible in his own zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Myers was bashing everything that moved and getting penalized because he couldn't crouch low enough so there is that too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a contract intended to be flipped for a 2nd or 3rd with retention at the deadline. Classic Arizona, watch him be fed premium offensive minutes to boost his value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
