Dumba is the only NHL player on Team Canada's World Junior roster and he has been loaned to the team by the Wild. Dumba has been invited to Canada’s National Junior Team selection camp for the last two seasons, and was the final cut both years, that won't happen this year...
Dumba was a healthy scratch last night vs. Ottawa, but he returns tonight in place of Nate Prosser. The rookie defenseman did not record a point in 11:41 TOI in his last outing on Sunday.
Dumba was scratched in six of the past seven games. Prosser has played well, but the Wild needs to give a 19-year-old a chance to play or it’ll need to eventually make the decision if it needs to return him to Red Deer despite already hitting that 10-game mark to trigger the first of his three-year deal.
Dumba was the seventh overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He has one goal and an assist in nine games this season. Dumba is one of the WIld's top prospects and has a good NHL career ahead of him, but until he lands a permanent spot on Minny's blueline, he has no fantasy value except for in deep keeper leagues.
Clayton Stoner will play tonight vs. the Kings and Dumba will sit. He was the seventh overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Dumba is a good skater who likes to rush the puck. His offensive game outshines his defensive game, but he loves to throw big hits, which Wild fans will grow to love.
Dumba skated in five playoff games with Houston, after appearing in three regular season contests with the Aeros, recording two penalty minutes (PIM). He began the NHL season with Minnesota and was reassigned to WHL Red Deer on Jan. 27. Dumba played in 62 games this season with Red Deer, totaling 42 points (16-26=42) and 80 PIM. He skated in nine playoff games with the Rebels, notching four points (2-2=4) and 14 PIM. The 6-foot, 184-pound native of Regina, Sask., was Minnesota’s first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Not fantasy relevant
Keep an eye on Dumba. He has tremendous fantasy upside if he earns enough minutes and sticks with the WIld after the first five games.
