The Dallas Stars signed defenseman Matt Dumba to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $3.75 million.
The Stars needed bodies on defense after buying out Ryan Suter and losing Chris Tanev in free agency. Dallas also signed blue-liner Brendan Smith to a one-year, $1-million contract on Monday.
Dumba split last season between the Arizona Coyotes and Tampa Bay Lightning. He put up 12 points in 76 games with the two clubs and averaged nearly 20 minutes per contest.
The soon-to-be 30-year-old played the first 10 seasons of his career with the Minnesota Wild, who drafted him seventh overall in 2012.
