The Dallas Stars have traded the defenceman and a second-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft to the Pittsburgh Penguins for fellow blue-liner Vladislav Kolyachonok, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman confirmed Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Dallas Stars have made a trade. According to NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman, the Penguins have acquired RHD Matt Dumba and a 2028 second-round pick for LHD Vladislav Kolyachonok.

The Dallas Stars face crucial offseason decisions to maintain competitiveness, potentially parting ways with underperforming veterans. Matt Dumba's defensive impact fell short of expectations, while Ilya Lyubushkin's limited presence may not justify his roster spot.
