He cracked the Sabres' lineup that fall and played in 25 games for the Sabres. He also suited up for 54 games with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League. After playing in 24 games the following year, Dunn was promoted to full-time duty on the Sabres' defense for the 1979-80 season when he played in all 80 regular season games where he had 38 points.

In 1982-83, Dunn joined the Calgary Flames as part of a trade that also sent goaltender Don Edwards to Alberta. He followed that up with two years in Hartford before returning to Buffalo in 1985-86 where he remained playing for parts of four seasons before retiring in 1990 as a member of their farm team, the AHL's Rochester Americans.
