I'm not sure that Minny can afford that.

He was in the running for the Vancouver Giants coaching job but Scott Bonner said he was warning the candidates with no WHL experience about the bus rides lol

The new attempts to decide overtime games are getting ridiculous.

I remember Larry Robinson as being better than that.

Yeah but he doesn't drink dash. Like not at ALL.

At least he didn't in his Ottawa days; who knows what bourbon country has done to a good Ontario boy.

I can assure you from personal experience, it is HELL on your liver.

Dubnyk re-ups with Minny for $26 mil over six years.

Not quite the 5+ mil/per that he was reportedly asking for.

Now just stay healthy, dammit!

Good signing by the Wild locking up Dubnyk...

As far as the cap hit goes, that's pretty good

However, six years is a lot - I wonder if they front loaded it

 

[IndyAndy]

Just found it: He makes 5 mil per in years 1-4, 3.5 in year 5 & 2.5 in year 6.

Do the Wild learn with goalies? Why 6 years lol

Just clear the dressing room of all trash cans...

6 years is a pretty strong commitment to a goalie with 2/3 a good season under his belt.

Dubnyk had some good seasons in Edmonton too though. His time there was basically 50 bad games wrapped around 120 pretty good games.

Thing is if you see Dubnyk more reminiscent of Lundqvist, Bobrovsky, Schneider, Quick and Rinne or Ward, Luongo, Smith, Howard, Lehtonen, Pavelec, Backstrom...

Obviously Minny sees him as the former. For their sake I hope they're right.
