I just personally love that BG sensed the market was good for goalies and decided to take advantage and move dubs when maybe we normally wouldn't have or been able too.
Confirmed with Link: Dubnyk (50% retained) and a 2022 7th to San Jose for a 2022 5th

Agreed. A few weeks ago, my thinking was that the only way to get rid of Dubnyk would've been with a buy-out. I didn't consider a trade likely at all.
Don’t like the retention but his value is at an all time low almost, at a time when goalies are plentiful.
Wish the best for Dubnyk and hope he can play well for San Jose. Will give him a "doooooob" under my breath when he stops our shots next time we play. That said, good trade. I hope we stay away from MAF unless we get a really nice add in return.

Thank you Dubs, for making the Wild suck in a year in which playoff revenue doesn't mean anything. You've given our aging vets and fans rest, as well as a nice pick. Bless!

I'm happy with this, ive always thought Dubnyk didn't have a great attitude, all the trades GMBG has made so far feel like he's trying to fix the 'culture.'
I have hope GMBG being a player that was a great locker room guy as well as a good player that has been on successful teams knows what guys we need to change that culture for the better.
Plus, it always looked like the team played better with Stalock in net, whether that's due to the players not trusting Stalock as much as Dubnyk or not liking Dubnyk im not sure.
If MAF does come over i think it will at least help the locker room, the guys got a great personality.

How is it better than a buyout?
His cap hit for this year would have been 1.33 million and next season $.417 (rounding up generously to 500K). Instead we're now on the hook for 2.15 million this year. So, we gave up a 7th (who cares) for a 5th to take on 2.15 million this year instead of 1.33 million this year and .500 next season. I would have pushed a little harder for a 3rd with that retention.
I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter; because the Wild aren't spending to the cap, Dubnyk's value is low. But it just seems like an unnecessary trade that is just really, really dumb.
I guess that's Guerin's thing, making dumb trades for the sake of making dumb trades.
And 2021-22 cap space is going to be more valuable to us than 2020-21 cap space. That plus the pick swap make this an easy, if underwhelming, win.
Nope, you're looking at the 50% retained number. Full cost would have been $2.67M.
Change in goal: Wild send longtime No. 1 netminder Devan Dubnyk to San Jose
Sorry you're right, the retention is on both (1.3), so 2.6 million. Still, seemed a bit unnecessary.

Twitter is a cesspool which goes without saying but it is ridiculous and funny at the same time
Detroit Twitter is the same, people claiming that SY buying out Abdelkader is a loss of a talented player with a decent contract (what??!!)
