    Default Dubnyk?

    I realize this has possibly been beaten to a pulp on the boards here already but just to get a general sense...

    Is Duby for real? Is he Minnesota's goalie of the future?

    I've put a poll to this but your reasoning is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I said guy now and for the future as well. I still think the Wild re-sign him to a short term (probably 2 year) deal and let him and Kuemper battle it out.

    I've said this in other threads but I think he's Minny's guy now and in the future. He's the next Brian Elliot, only I don't think Kuemper is anywhere near the prospect that Allen is.

    Dubnyk has actually been a very steady goalie for much of his career. While with the Oilers his game and numbers steadily improved until last season. Last season he fell apart early and then had to deal with being traded to 3 different teams, which takes a beating on a guy. This year he connected with goalie coach Sean Burke in Arizona and was playing so well the Coyotes had to trade him because he was screwing up the tanking plan! He's looked great in Minnesota so far.The Brian Elliott comparison is apt. Minnesota is very strong defensively and just needs average goaltending to succeed, if it gets average goaltending it will make said goalie look very good.

    Still a small sample size, because of that I'll only commit to he's the guy for the rest of the season. If he keeps playing anywhere near where he has since joining the Wild I think he'll get a 2-year deal with the Wild at a friendly cap-hit, a second "show me" deal if you will. That would give him the inside track on being the starter going forward and it would be up to Kuemper to take his job. I don't see Kuemper as being a great prospect, he's got NHL potential and will show flashes of brilliance (which he did last season and at the start of this one) but doesn't have the consistency to keep a #1 job for a whole season at this point.

    Imo now and for the future. Backstrom is close to retirement, Kuemper is no competition, Harding has MS and everything, and I don't see any blue-chip goalie in their system.

    I'm cautiously optimistic. Coincidence It is a contract year? Just another cookie to munch on.
    I thought a lot might depend on where he ends up too. Say he And his agent decide to fight for long-term deal and Price themselves out of Mins range. Not to mention with a better contract comes more pressure.Lot to consider.

    I don't think the contract year has anything to do with his performance. He was on the last year of his contract last season as well and that did not go very well for him. If Dubnyk and his agent have a clue they will sign whatever offer that Minnesota gives him in the off-season. Minnesota is the perfect place for him to play since they are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL. If Dubnyk went anywhere else, his numbers would sky rocket.

    If Dubie continues his strong performance and leads Minny through a respectable playoff push, I don't see how they can possibly not sign him to a multi-year contract.

    Don't get your hopes up that he'll just take Minnys offer. Money and security are the top 2 priorities with 99% of atheletes priority list.
