In recent years the Arizona Coyotes have constantly been in sell mode. However the team has now acquired a plethora of high draft picks in the upcoming drafts and they now look poised to make their first legitimate playoff appearance, not counting the covid bubble, on quite some time. That being said, one of their blueliners is reportedly getting a lot of attention from other NHL clubs.

Multiple NHL Teams Asking Coyotes About Dumba's Availability

According to the hockey rumor site HockeyBuz.com, five teams including the Oilers, Lightning, Sabres, Rangers, and Devils have called the Coyotes regarding the 29-year-old defenseman's availability.

"I am already hearing New Jersey, Edmonton, the NY Rangers,. Tampa, as well as Buffalo. Dumba brings some serious grit and leadership to any team and you could just see him finding another level and finally getting to make a playoff impact."

There has been no word as to how the Coyotes responded. The team may very well want to hang onto the veteran given that the team is firmly within a playoff spot at the moment.

Coyotes Look To Make Playoffs For First Time In Over A Decade

The Coyotes did make the playoffs in 2020 but only on a technicality as that was the covid year. They did win the play-in round to officially make the playoffs, but that hardly counts. You have to go back to 2012 for the last time the team made the second season under normal circumstances. However, the team now holds the top wild card spot in the western conference and they are even threatening for a top-three spot.

The team has been on a heater as they have taken down each of the last five Stanley Cup winners in consecutive fashion. Clearly, the social media team as well as the fans are having lots of fun for the first time in awhile in the desert.

Whether or not the team can keep up this pace remains to be seen. They very well may fall back to the bottom of the standings by the trade deadline in which case Dumba may very well be moved. However, if they can stay in the hunt, they just might make a little bit of history in the desert this year.
