I had three thoughts when I saw the Dumba trade announced moments ago:
1) It’s great to get a 2nd round pick for a guy they claimed off waivers last season and isnt that good. Chance he develops into a better player though, of course.
2) This will help McKenna chances.
3) I really wish Grinder was around at times like this. I bet he’s really happy we got Dumba and not for the reason(s) must of us are hahaha
Seems like EK will be leaving for sure now. Maybe flip Dumba at the deadline. Got a 2nd to take one year….pretty good IMO.
apparently they’ve been in talks with Detroit on EK. It’d be nice if they could somehow package EK and Rust to Detroit for a decent return. Then flip Dumba for a second that’s sooner than 2028 if we retain a bit.

I think Letang is supposed to be out the first few months to start the year if I remember correctly. So if that’s true I can’t see trading ek until he’s back. Unless there truly is a secret tank going on. Great use of assets though on this trade. Free pickup last year on a way too crowded LD side for a second and a terrible defensive dman who should up the entertainment value of the on ice product though.
