As I already said, Dumba will line up perfectly next to Brodin. The perfect mix of risk and physicality to go with Brodin's smooth skating, perfect positioning play.
On the other hand, I'm happy that we got Dumba but we should've traded down, really. Let's see what GMCF has to come in trade department... I think we'll see Clutterbuck moved, maybe? Or Brodziak, after a career year... Hmm.

I would not mind seeing Clutterbuck moved tonight for another good pick. There are still so many good choices on the board still.
Just really should have traded down... especially with the Pens trading for the #8 and going crazy with that pick.
“I want to play next year,” said the confident Dumba, Canada’s captain at the Under-18 world championships, where he led the tournament in scoring. “I’m the type of guy, my will is strong and I want to go somewhere and compete for a position next year.
If we can't sign Suter.....does Dumba have a shot at making the squad???
I like how Habs fans said he looks like a Subban clone.
He is, although I think Subban is a little bigger than him, and while I think Dumba has the same mean streak, he doesn't have the same arrogant attitude.

Very very long shot I'd say. He did bulk up by the combine, and was slightly taller than reported, but he's still a little undersized for his physical game.
I wouldn't say he has no chance, but odds are still against him.
The way it was shaking down.. I wanted to see a trade down. We could have gotten Grigorenko and Ceci probably had we done that. But Dumba is a good player. My only concern is that he's undersized. Really wish we would've traded down.
