I honestly thought Dubnyk was going to fizzle out and play minors the rest of his career due to his play in EDM and then being moved twice. There is no denying he played lights for Minny though.
It's hard to be fully confident in him though, at least for me. Was the 2nd half a flash in the pan? I don't know. I guess the Edm factor makes me lose confidence in him a bit.
However, despite all of that, 5x5 is not horrible. If he continues playing great, well whaddya know. If not, well, even Lou's albatross contract was traded.
Can someone clarify something though: Is Ortio guaranteed an NHL job next year? I thought he was subject to waivers only if he was sent down after his first callup, but he could still be assigned to the AHL straight out of camp, and be called up later in the year.
