They seem to be fairly similar type guys. Both are best suited for back-ups and if they are starters are going to be 25-30th type guys in the league.
Scrivens has benefited from a small sample size as a back-up as well as playing for a defensive team like LA. Dubnyk has been hurt by playing in Edmonton but that doesn't excuse the multiple bad goals he lets in or the fact he seems to rely on being big more than being quick, reading the play, having solid positioning etc.
It is possible that either guy could break out with their new teams but it seems much more likely that both guys will continue to be meh goalies that don't do much but provide mediocre to below average goaltending if relied on being anything more than a back-up.
