Wonder if this could impact trade rumours linking him to the Oilers.

Does that mean the Oilers fans that I work with will stop telling me about how good they will be once Minnesota trades Dumba for RNH?

It seems funny that all of the young defensemen that the Oiler fans think are going to Edmonton are signing pretty reasonable deals.

Sign this contract or we'll trade you to Edmonton since you don't have a NTC.

Did you want me to sign this with my own blood?

That seems like an excellent deal for Minny.

Pretty fair deal. Dumba hasn't accomplished much at the NHL level and still needs to show a lot more. This contract will be a good test for him and pays him pretty good. Don't think he's worth any more than this type of bridge contract.

It's a higher end show me contract. He's giving up money in exchange for shorter term.

I think it's a fair deal for Dumba which is why I always found it hilarious that Edmonton was rumoured to be looking to acquire him as some sort of answer to their problems. He's decent but not great.
