2 of the 5 Worst UFA Signings This Summer Were Ex Toronto Maple Leafs

Matt Dumba

The other Stars signing I wanted to touch on was Matt Dumba's signing, a two-year deal with an AAV of 3.75 million.

Dumba was a deadline acquisition for the Tampa Bay Lightning last season and he struggled at the start of the season with Arizona as well as when he got to Tampa.

In Dumba's prime, he was a solid offensive defenseman who wasn't afraid to throw his body around.

However, his point totals have been declining and he is a liability in his own end. He only posted 12 points in 76 games last season between Arizona and Tampa.

His underlying numbers weren't any better. Through 58 games in Arizona, he lost his minutes where he had a goals-for percentage of 43.84 percent and it was even worse in his 18 games in Tampa, where his goals-for percentage was at 38.05 percent (Stats from EvolvingHockey.com).

The money they handed to Dumba is bad but adding him as well as Lyubushkin is even worse.
