NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

The Minnesota Wild dealt goaltender Devan Dubnyk and a 2022 seventh-round pick to the San Jose Sharks for a fifth-round selection in the same year, the clubs confirmed Monday.

Minnesota will retain 50% of Dubnyk's contract, with the netminder remaining on the books through next season at a cap hit of $4.33 million.

Dubnyk spent nearly six seasons with the Wild and posted a career-best .918 save percentage over that span.

The 34-year-old rejuvenated his career with Minnesota and blossomed into a true No. 1 goalie after the Coyotes traded him to the Wild in January 2015.

Dubnyk earned All-Star nods in 2016, 2017, and 2019.

Minnesota also shipped forward Ryan Donato to San Jose for a 2021 third-round pick earlier Monday.
 
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid underwent a COVID-19 test Monday that produced a positive result, the club announced.

McDavid has been in quarantine at his home since his positive test. He'll continue to be monitored while adhering to all the proper protocols.

The 23-year-old superstar is "feeling well," and his symptoms are mild, according to the team.

McDavid is expected to be fine, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.
 
The NHL and NHLPA are planning for a new target date of Jan. 1 to begin the 2021 season, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

The new target doesn't guarantee the season will begin on New Year's Day but does replace the league's initial date of Dec. 1, Friedman adds.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said during the Stanley Cup Final that predicting next season's start date will be "nothing more than speculation," though he added he prefers the season doesn't carry into next summer.


Deputy commissioner Bill Daly has also said numerous times that the league intends to play a full 82-game schedule next season.

The first round of the 2020 NHL Draft is scheduled for Tuesday night, with free agency set to begin Oct. 9.
 
The King of New York could soon be heading to the nation's capital.

There's a "strong possibility" the Washington Capitals will land goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading."

The 38-year-old netminder was bought out of the final year of his contract by the New York Rangers last week. Lundqvist indicated his desire to continue playing shortly afterward, saying he "still wants to win."


The Capitals are expected to part ways with longtime goaltender and pending free agent Braden Holtby this offseason, which would open up a spot in the crease alongside 23-year-old Ilya Samsonov.

Lundqvist endured the worst statistical season of his career last year after appearing in 30 games and posting a .901 save percentage with a 3.52 goals-against average.

Washington currently has $8.9 million in projected cap space for next season.
 
The Vegas Golden Knights are exhausting "all efforts and opportunities" to trade veteran netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, TSN's Frank Seravalli reported on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading," making it their No. 1 focus.

The Golden Knights are apparently willing to offer a second-round pick for a club to take on up to half of Fleury's remaining salary. The 35-year-old has two years remaining on his deal, which carries an annual cap hit of $7 million.

Vegas has engaged with a number of teams, including the Carolina Hurricanes, but would likely need to include upwards of a first- and second-round pick for teams to be willing to take on that much salary, Seravalli reports.


Fleury owned a 2.77 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage over 48 starts in 2019-20.

The Golden Knights locked up 29-year-old puck-stopper Robin Lehner to a five-year, $25-million pact Saturday.

With the salary cap remaining flat at $81.5 million in 2020-21, Vegas is currently $60,000 over the limit, per CapFriendly.

Max Domi and a 3rd rd pick to CBJ for Josh Anderson

Good for both sides? I liked Max but I think he didn't fit anymore with the youngsters pushing him down the roster. He has a lot of talent and heart, but his main flaw is defense.

Anderson is a risk given he was injured most of last year, but he's exactly what we need if he returns to his form of 2 years ago.

I think the 2020 2nd rd pick is a bit of an overpayment but otherwise a decent trade provided Anderson remains healthy.
 
Congrats to Buffalo who have now displaced Columbus to become one of two teams that when I hear them mentioned I think “oh yeah, they still exist” along with the Panthers.
