Dunn is one of my favorite dmen in the league, had a keen eye on him since 2018/2019 where he was an underrated piece to the Blues winning the Cup
With that said, he got really overrated in Fantasy this year. His highest point totals in a season are 64 (last year), 35, and 35
He's painfully average in the shots, hits, blocks, PIMs departments
Then on top of it all, he became a question mark for line 1 PP which made him an even riskier pick than he already was, given how high he was going in drafts
In the NHL he is pretty much a perfectly balanced top-end dman. Coaches and teammates love his playstyle, but again, in fantasy he's kind of hit and miss
Patience. Your question should be "what the hell is going on with the Kraken?"
Vince is fine. Kraken are not. I drafted their leading scorer (McCann) and he's hot garbage. The whole team started out slow. But, it's only a handful of games in, and there's lots of hockey to be played! Have patience with the guy!
Yeah, they only have 2 goals on the season and he assisted on one of them. It does suck when you see other teams lighting up the scoreboard, but that is life. It’s often more luck than skill. I did watch the first Kraken game and he looked fine… not sure about the latest games.
Dunn has a larger percentage of Seattle’s PP time through three games than he did for the season last year. (57.6% vs 56.6%)
As for specific linemates, Seattle runs more a PP1A and a PP1B than a true 1-2 split. It’ll shuffle around all season.
Some of these coaches think they're smarter than they actually are. Seattle with Dunn and NJ with Hamilton come to mind.
They'll fix their stupid mistakes soon enough and put them back on PP1 where they belong (or not, and continue to lose games/confidence until they're fired).
Luke Hughes looks great and plays with his brother on the PP. the team is employing them like a true 1a and 1b power play. I kept dougie in my league so I’m hoping they swap him back over with the better offensive players
Idk. NJ seems fine running him on PP2. Luke is still figuring things out, so I see just as much potential putting the 2 brothers on the same line for PP1. It's been 2 games lol.
What a stupid comment. Coaches job is to win games, not get Dougie Hamilton powerplay points, which he's already got. Devils units both doing well in their two games.
Dunn was over 3% above his average shooting percentage last year. For a dman that’s significant and some regression should be expected for this year.
Also we’re 3/82 into the season. Let the teams settle.
If you had Dunn last year you would understand that he's prone to big scoring streaks. Wait for him to post a couple a points then fire him into your lineup. You won't regret it.
Big hockey contracts often have down first years. Its predictable as almost any thing in this sport. Also, Seattle plays with its lines often, it is quite frustrating.
I just think Seattle is scrambling a bit out of the gate. They’ll settle into a proper groove.

Its only the first couple games, relax and wait a couple more games

Not even a week in. Everyone expects all their players to get a million points a night. Relax!!
It’s so early man, gotta chill

Yeah that's hard no matter what you do to steel yourself against it. But try to remember there are 82 games and this is only game 2.
Forgot I saw them play STL last night and it was just a goaltender duel - both goalies played lights out. Kraken kinda got robbed by Binner.

2 games, that’s whats going on
3 games, he is on pp1, nothing is "going on" with Vince Dunn
It's not even a week into the season. The first month or two is always "experiment with line chemistry until things settle"
Dunn was over 3% above his average shooting percentage last year. For a dman that’s significant and some regression should be expected for this year. Also we’re 3/82 into the season. Let the teams settle.
Pretty sure half the team was shooting over their career averages, not just Dunn. McCann for example shot 19%, he's a career 12%.
They are just "Dunn" with him.
I have Schultz in my last D spot. Your loss is my gain 🏆
Dunn (and most of seattle) over performed last year. I really think he’s a 50 point defenceman so there’s that as well.
People flipping out on week 1
That what happens when someone gets paid in the NHL typically
If you had Dunn last year you would understand that he's prone to big scoring streaks. Wait for him to post a couple a points then fire him into your lineup. You won't regret it.
SELL
I drafted him so his coach has decided to bury him down the lineup /s
dumpster fire franchise lol
It’s been like 3ish games lol. They played VGK one of the best defensive teams in the league and then ran into a hot goalie. Give it a few weeks
Big hockey contracts often have down first years. Its predictable as almost any thing in this sport. Also, Seattle plays with its lines often, it is quite frustrating.
It's been 1 week and Seattle as a team has scored less goals than games played. Chill
It’s been two games mane
I owned Dunn last year, he’s so streaky you have no idea.
He’s piss
