Report: Sharks in talks to acquire Dubnyk from Wild

The San Jose Sharks are discussing a potential trade with the Minnesota Wild to acquire veteran goaltender Devan Dubnyk, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Dubnyk has one year left on his current deal, carrying a cap hit of $4.33 million. He becomes an unrestricted free agent following the 2020-21 season.

The 34-year-old had a difficult campaign after he missed 15 games early in the season to be with his wife, who fell ill in November. The 6-foot-6 puck-stopper never quite found his rhythm and ended up with a 3.35 goals against average and .890 save percentage in just 28 starts - his lowest mark since his rookie season.

The Sharks ranked 30th in team save percentage (.895) in 2019-20 and failed to qualify for the postseason for just the third time in the last two decades.

Sharks netminder Martin Jones remains under contract through 2023-24, and the 30-year-old would likely share the crease with Dubnyk in a platoon system.

San Jose has also shown interest in Wild forward Ryan Donato, according to The Athletic's Michael Russo.
