Matt_Dumba on Waivers

Post by bluecalgary »

Hmmm.. UFA at the end of the year... 60%'ish left of 3.75M cap hit. If he has any physicality left in him might be worth a shot.

Yuck. Serviceable but man I can’t stand that guy. Would pain me to see him don the Note.

This is a guy who would fit in with what the Blues should be.

He plays tough and would be better than Tucker, Kessel etc at bottom pairing.

What happened to this guy? seriously. was it the speed of the game passed him bye.

He could hit like a freight train.

I guess Edmonton went with Preds Spencer Stastney over having him added to the Pens deal. cheaper route and they didn't need another slow Dman.



Plus, nobody thought trades would be done this close to Xmas. but with all these condensed games. fun stuff.

My main memory of him is that frankly ludicrous save Bobrovsky made on him in the playoffs a few years ago. If I didn't see it live and in person, I would have sworn it was fake...

They played the replay about 10 times on television, and I thought it still wasn't enough. Unreal!

It's the best save I have ever seen. It is incredible that this was not a goal:

He is a right shot. Can he play the left side? 23 needs to play, but not with Tucker or Kessel.

Saw this and immediately thought it is 125% and Armstrong move. I’m surprised it hasn’t been announced yet.

Same. Agree with others as well. He might be the type of guy we need, but no thanks.

Hated the pita however if the Blues hopefully trade Faulk and/or Parayko he might be a decent vet to pair with younger dmen to help them develop on and off the ice

I would rather sign Ryan Sutter at league min than taking dumb[ash]. Mailloux could benefit too.
