In separate transactions, the Wild traded
forward Ryan Donato for the Sharks' third-round pick in the 2021
NHL Draft and traded goaltender Devan Dubnyk for San Jose's
fifth-round selection in 2022.
Minnesota also re-signed defenseman Carson Soucy to a
three-year, $8.25 million contract and forward Nico Sturm to a
two-year, $1.45 million contract.
Donato, 24, recorded career highs in goals (14), points (23) and
games played (62) this past season. He did not notch a point in
two games during Minnesota's qualifying-round loss versus
Vancouver.
Donato has collected 57 points (29 goals, 28 assists) in 130
career games with the Bruins and Wild since being selected by
Boston in the second round of the 2014 NHL Draft.
Dubnyk, 34, posted a 12-15-2 record with one shutout, a 3.35
goals-against average and career-worst .890 save percentage this
past season.
Dubnyk is 247-195-52 with 32 shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .915
save percentage in 11 seasons with the Edmonton Oilers,
Nashville Predators, Arizona Coyotes and Wild. He was a
first-round pick by the Oilers in 2004.
Soucy, 26, tallied 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 55
games in his first full season with the Wild in 2019-20. He also
set a franchise rookie record for plus/minus rating at plus-16.
Sturm, 25, had two assists in six regular-season games this past
season. Sturm recorded his first career NHL point with an assist
at Arizona on Dec. 19.
