    Default Is Devan Dubnyk's career over?

    So Price is hurt and all the media reports I saw were debating about TWO options in goal for the habs: Budaj or Tokarski. I even looked on twitter and the few people I saw who were mentioning a 3rd choice were asking about Fucale. Does that mean Dubnyk is Montreal's #5 goaltender? I'm not sure why the Habs would have traded for him - maybe those "future considerations" are actually an asset coming TO montreal in exchange for taking Dubnyk's bad contract? Or maybe their ECHL affiliate really needed a boast? Things sure went bad quickly for this guy, who was edmonton's #1 just a few months ago, and whose name I still see on hockey pool rosters on these boards.

    I dont think it's over. I don't think Montreal is the ideal situation for him (or any other goalie for that matter as long as Carey Price is there).

    Once the season is over and he becomes a FA, I can see him battling others for a backup gig somewhere. Its not like he's an old dog with zero experience. He's still a young goalie with starting experience and has put up decent numbers considering the team he was on.

    Up until this season he was actually posting solid numbers in Edmonton and was looked at as their #1 going forward.

    I'm not sure what happened this season.....but I imagine he'll latch on somewhere. He's still fairly young and has a nice pedigree being a former 1st round pick with some success in the NHL. It is a little surprising just how far down the depth chart he is in Montreal, but someone will give him a shot next year.

    He had a .920 save percentage on a bad team in 2012-2013. In saying that he allowed soft goals at crucial times early this season which didn't help a team that was already struggling.

    He had a second life in Nashville but played poorly in his debut and only got into two games there. He should compete for a back up role next year, but could see him landing in Europe in the next 2-3 years.

    I'd say it's a long shot you very see him in the NHL again. I could see him in Europe.

    In my opinion, they gave up on him far too quickly and blamed many of their troubles on bad goaltending when it was clearly a teamwide issue. I think that did a lot to kill his confidence and ultimately ruin his career. I don't seem him making his way back from this, and I feel bad for the guy because he did well the previous year and wasn't entirely at fault for their troubles but was shat on by the organization.

    Plenty of AHL goalies are talented enough to be in the NHL. Tokarski and Dubnyk are two of them. Depth chart positioning is important. He has to find a team where he can be #2 instead of #3/4.

    IMO Dubnyk's NHL career never should have been in the first place. He couldn't hack it on the worst team with the worst goaltending after years and quite a bit of $$$ committed to him, he's had more than ample opportunity to prove himself. Nashville immediately saw something they didn't like, and so has Montreal. I've watched enough of Duby to know that he's not an NHL goalie. Terrible mechanics. Slow. Brutal glove hand. Awful rebound control. Mentally, he is incredibly fragile. I don't care what kind of numbers he had one year, a zillion goalies have put together a decent 30 game stretch only to disappear into oblivion soon after. Dubnyk is one of those goalies.

    My best guess is that he ends up in Europe.

    Exactly! He is not a bonafide starter but should easily be a solid #2 guy in some cities.

    If given the opportunity, I think Dubnyk can pull a "Steve Mason" somewhere in the NHL. Confidence is huge thing for a goaltender obviously and playing behind a team like Edmonton could shake anyone. I think he has all the tools to be a regular starter in the NHL once he regains his confidence.

    I ain't holding my breath. Mason needs another very good season yet before I trust him enough to say he has "made it back" and whether or not he does, he is still a better goaltender than Dubnyk.

    Who?... I think the goalie market is pretty flooded right now. But given a team is in a pinch or eager to switch something up, I think he's a serviceable goalie given the right scenario. I think he has the pedigree to make it somewhere.

    At best he is competing for a back up job somewhere. He has gone on record saying he would unlikely take a two way contract as per the article linked below, so Europe could be in his future.

    I think at best he sneaks into a starting gig. But would have to do it as the backup first. He's a big goalie, who needs a good goalie coach. I think NSH noted he had bad habits, something that can be fixed.

    .920 sv% over 38 games in 2012-13

    Considering the team he was playing behind, those are pretty solid numbers. If he is really so awful, how did he post those stats over a span over 120+ games? I just don't buy it, I think he was a victim of "our team has so many issues, just blame the goalie" in Edmonton.

    Obviously something went bad this year, he wasn't able to latch on in Nashville or Montreal either. But to say that he should have never sniffed the NHL in the first place....I don't know if I buy that.
