Wild's Devan Dubnyk Becomes 21st Highest Paid Goaltender

Devan Dubnyk and the Minnesota Wild agreed on a 6 year, $26 million contract. The contract holds an average annual value of $4.33 million.

Dubnyk had a stellar last half of the season, and was nominated for a Vezina trophy. He had a .936 save percentage and 1.78 goals against average, with 5 shutouts in 39 appearances with the Wild. His numbers dropped in the playoffs with a .908 save percentage and 2.53 goals against average, with 1 shutout in 10 post season games.

Dubnyk's new contract makes him the 21st highest paid goaltender in the league. The cap hit works well with the Wild's long term plans and the contract length gives Dubnyk the security he was looking for. The Wild are still negotiating a contract with forward Mikael Granlund.
