If thats the deal, then I pray for full retention

The one thing that has been asked of Wilson for the last few years is to upgrade goaltending.

This is what he's come up with.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

1 year at 2.5M in actual salary is not outrageous backup money. Especially for a team that needs a guy to, potentially, be a starter.

That said, the 4.3M cap hit really did a number on the teams who might have been interested.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Not sure how reliable she is so rumour until someone here can confirm

She writes for The Athletic.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Getting anything and not having to give anything in a Dubnyk trade is a victory.

It's a 5th, three drafts from now. You just got Donato for a 3rd. Can we have this one please?

I would say pretty reliable, IIRC she works with FSN and has broken news before. She has her own podcast too about the team and Minnesota hockey.

If his down year was a fluke, this might end up being a genius move by Wilson.

@ziggy7716, our conversation the other day about cap hits vs actual salary owed...

Let’s go

So, if this turns out to be true. Sounds like the original deal being worked on was likely Donato + Dubnyk for a 2nd (hence the original rumors), and it got broken a part with each player getting picks closer to their individual value.

Smart move by the Wilson. Well, the breaking them apart part... Not the acquiring Dubnyk part.

No, the Donato was nice but this part was always looking bad for us. Dubnyk should have serious negative value

Ok I think I can make this a confirmed trade then. Thanks

Dubnyk has not been good for multiple season. Wilds pretty good defense masked that for a while.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

,A 5th in 2022 is basically nothing if it's trueand if it is why couldn't they make this 1 big deal?

 

[ThatGuy22]

For sure. 95% of Wild fans would have responded with "Good trade" to a deal that was solely future considerations coming back.

Not having Dubnyk on our team is the goal, any positive return is a bonus.

 

[Bazeek]

Even at max retention I have no complaints about getting a 5th here.

I wish Dubnyk the best in San Jose, but man I will not miss seeing him let in unscreened, backbreaker goals.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Why are the Wild the only team making moves?

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

SJ wins both deals in my mind.

Donato > 3rd
Dubnyk > 5th

Yes, Dubnyk doesnt really upgrade SJ goaltending a ton, but he only has 1 year left and buys their young goalies more time to develop. Not bad.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Unless there is serious retention I have no idea why the Sharks do this

 

[Michoulicious]

Shows how Rutherford had great deal getting a 2020 3rd for Allen.

Even is Allen is better.

 

[Lapa]

I'm okay with this.

 

[KaprizovEntitlelist]

Why does it say confirmed? I am confused. it's not anywhere besides one place & says not done
