Wild trade Dubnyk to Sharks for 5th-round pick

The Minnesota Wild dealt goaltender Devan Dubnyk and a 2022 seventh-round pick to the San Jose Sharks for a fifth-round selection in the same year, the clubs confirmed Monday.

Minnesota will retain 50% of Dubnyk's contract, with the netminder remaining on the books through next season at a cap hit of $4.33 million.

Dubnyk spent nearly six seasons with the Wild and posted a career-best .918 save percentage over that span. However, he produced a paltry .890 mark and minus-16.23 goals saved above average across 30 games in 2019-20.

The 34-year-old rejuvenated his career with Minnesota and blossomed into a true No. 1 goalie after the Coyotes traded him to the Wild in January 2015.

Dubnyk leads all NHL puck-stoppers in minutes played since his Wild debut. He earned All-Star nods in 2016, 2017, and 2019.

Minnesota also shipped forward Ryan Donato to San Jose for a 2021 third-round pick earlier Monday.
