    Paired with Keith Ballard? I hope those two aren't out against the Getzlaf line...

    I know right? Usually you see young prospect d-men paired with the responsible stay-at-home vet so they can make some mistakes and have their asses covered but that does not seem to be the direction the Wild wanted to go in

    Gotta give Dumba credit for his sense of humour. Number 55? He can sign stuff Matt Dumba55.

    That's amazing!

    The problem with the Wild is that Keith Ballard is really the closest thing that they have to a vet on their back-end after Ryan Suter...and they probably don't want to risk messing with the chemistry that Suter and Brodin have developed as Brodin is still very young and developing.

    Tough situation for Dumba to be in for sure...time for him to prove that he can handle it.
