Never hurts to shop someone, but don't feel pressured into making a deal.
Right now it looks like Dubnyk is struggling and not have a good year. I know people had told me that he hasn't been playing well since the second half of last year but of course I never listened and thought it was just talk. Should I hold onto him and hope he comes out of his slump or put him on the trading block and hope I can get someone half decent in return.

Don't know who else you have on your team, but you would be selling low and not getting what he is worth. I myself would be buying low on Dubnyk. Until last game he had been steadily improving.

And the Wild are getting healthier...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I too am a frustrated Dubnyk owner, and for some reason last night's effort really put me over the edge. That said, unless you can get back what he's worth (unlikely), hang in there. Minny is a good team and Dubnyk will get 60+ starts. Both will come around eventually.
I just traded for Dubnyk in a keep 10 league and he likely becomes a keeper for me. I believe he is a good buy low target. Gave up Schwartz and Maroon for him and picked up Jenner and Niederitter off the wire to replace them. Minny has been decimated with injuries and is just starting to get healthy. I think it is just a matter of time before Dubnyk and Minnesota turn things around. I have full confidence that he will get things back on track as he and Minni have looked better and better the last half dozen games. Even last night with 4 goals against a few of them came or ricochets and lucky bounces.
Now what to do with Lehner
Good time to inquire about him with disgruntled owners IMO.

Another frustrated owner here but echoing what people have said. Don't sell low on him. I've received some laughable low ball offers for him and Price this year. I've been tempted as they are both killing me right now in my head to head league. I've watched every Wild game this year (huge MN fan) and they are slowly trending in the right direction. I will probably keep Vas or Josi over him next year but goalies in my league are at a premium. Can't jump ship yet.

I protected him over Schneider, and then promptly lost Schneider.
I feel your pain, but you're at risk of selling way, way too low.

All depends on the return, I just doubt any offers at the moment will match his value over the rest of the season and over then next few as well. This team was hit hard by injuries to start the season so I’m being patient for now with Dubnyk on my bench, he’ll come around.

another poor start
last year in one year league I dropped him and he went crazy streaks.
so probably he can turn things around, if I drop him lol
Yes got a trade for Hellebuyck. Shortly after I made this post. I couldn't pass it up I didn't know how long he will be struggling for.
Hope you didn't....
