Dumba, 30, is entering the final season of a two-year deal worth $7.5 million that he signed with Dallas on July 1, 2024.

the Penguins trade was for a second-round pick and yet another right-handed defenseman.

Dumba is redundant on a right side that already features Clifton, Kris Letang, and Erik Karlsson, and it is almost guaranteed that one of those will be dealt soon.
