Done Deal: Minnesota and San Jose Complete a Trade

As we reported a few days ago, the Minnesota Wild and San Jose Sharks were closing in on a trade, and it turns out, there's more to it. Not only are the two teams talking Wild goalie, Devan Dubnyk, the talks have also given the general managers a chance to land on another deal.

Wild and Sharks are expected to announce a Ryan Donato trade within the hour; San Jose getting Donato for a third-round pick in '21.
Both teams also still working on a separate Devan Dubnyk deal which if completed would be announced later today.

For Ryan Donato, this will be the second time he's been traded and he's still only 24-years-old. Slightly concerning to some, while others will say 'everybody wants him on their team'.

The American left-winger was a second-round pick back in 2014 of the Boston Bruins and last year for the Minnesota Wild, tallied 23 points in 62 games which included 14 goals. 

The Sharks hope Donato can continue to develop and provide them some flexibility within their top-9 forwards.  

Keep an eye on these two teams as they will be active this week, with the draft and free-agency beginning!
