Player Discussion Devan Dubnyk II

[Alexandrov]

Duby update from Russo

I'm told they're not far off money-wise. Wild has gotten up to the low $4 million range. Dubnyk is willing to come into the high 4s.

I do think term is the biggest issue. Dubnyk is asking for bigtime security (many years, maybe the max eight, I hear) and the Wild likely doesn't want to go more than four years and probably prefers three.

We'll see if Dubnyk budges.

[Minnesota]

I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Nobody is going to give him 8; 5 x $4.4M might be a somewhat acceptable middle ground?

Nah, Buffalo has there goalie. SJ is close to trading for one of Lack, Talbot or Markstrom to go with Stalock.

Which just leaves Edmonton, and god knows he's not going there.

Far more available goalies, than teams that need one.

Guessing the middle ground ends up being $4.5M x 4 years, which I'm uneasy about... Depending on the type of contract. Fletcher better not hand out another NMC.

 

[gphr513]

4.5 would put him right around the middle of goalie salaries, right? I'd be ok with that.

 

[Granlund 64]

Let the negotiations continue:

Nobody CAN give him 8 years except us. Max term is 7 for anyone but the Wild because of CBA rules.

Yeah. Don't tie your hands Fletch. 4 years is max and 4+mil is already a tad too much. 5 mil would be too too much. And 5 years would be far far too too many.

 

[Spurgeon]

Thinking they've got to get a deal in before the draft.

 

[TaLoN]

Yeah... over $4mil and I'm not happy with the deal... too much!

Anyone else see the draft ticker? Just said Wild re-sign Dubnyk. Didn't have any details, though. Don't see anything from Russo.

Yeah I saw it too. Waiting for russo to tweet something

I saw something that said that was our team need.

It said

Re-Sign Devan Dubnyk

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

He said it was wrong.

 

[Wild11MN]

I think what you guys are referring to was "Team needs: Wild".. and then underneath it said "Re-sign Dubnyk".

 

[Alexandrov]

False alert

It said it under the "Team needs" banner for the Wild

edit. yes yes

 

[Minnesota]

Whoops, my bad.

 

[Wild48]

False alert

It said it under the "Team needs" banner for the Wild

edit. yes yes

I hated that ****ing banner. i'll admit it tricked me twice.

 

[Loopy0ne]

so??

 

[forthewild]

Call up boston and offer em something stupid for Rask

 

[Loopy0ne]

Call up boston and offer em something stupid for Rask

how about a 10 dollar piece of cake?

 

[Granlund 64]

Ugh... Six years?

 

[Granlund 64]

 

[Engebretson]

Well, if he gave up money, he was going to want more term. 6 years is probably higher than I'd like but the cap shouldn't be anywhere higher than $4.25M per year.

Just please, no more NMC's
