At last year's Trade Deadline, Matt Dumba's name was all over the rumor mill. With Dumba expected to become an unrestricted free agent the Minnesota Wild made the decision to try and recoup some assets for Dumba. However, when the 3 pm deadline rolled around Dumba was still a member of the Minnesota Wild.
This trend seemed to roll over to this summer's free agent frenzy. With so many available players Dumba ultimately ended up being an afterthought for most teams. Dumba ultimately ended up signing a 1-year deal with the Arizona Coyotes, a far cry from the expected interest in the defender.
