The Tampa Bay Lightning have made some moves that mean that Matt Dumba, a former Arizona Coyote and Minnesota Wild, will hit unrestricted free agency.
Since being drafted by the Minnesota Wild, Matt Dumba has been quite a solid defenseman being able to play big minutes when called upon. He was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning during the middle of this season from the Arizona Coyotes.
It was just announced that Dumba will not be returning to Tampa as a result of the Ryan McDonagh trade.
Somewhat obvious after the #GoBolts acquired Ryan McDonagh, but I've confirmed TB will not be bringing RD Matt Dumba back. He will hit the UFA market July 1.
Dumba had only two assists through 18 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the regular season and was held to zero points in their five-game series against the Florida Panthers. Before then, he scored four goals and 10 points in 58 games with the Arizona Coyotes.
More details to come.
