Matt Dumba Traded to Tampa Bay Lightning
The 29-year-old defenseman signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract last summer and is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Given that the Coyotes are pretty much out of the playoff picture and Dumba's contract is expiring, it's no surprise they're letting go of the veteran defenseman.
Dumba brings a physical edge to his game, known for delivering big hits that could come in handy during the playoffs. He's got some great speed and is a solid skater, not afraid to jump in on offense when needed.
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster season for Dumba, especially with the increased role he's had to take on in Arizona. But with a contending team like Tampa Bay, he might just thrive and prove to be a valuable asset come playoff time.
