Minnesota Wild: Matt Dumba returning for 5 years

Matt Dumba and the Minnesota Wild agreed to a 5-year, $30 million dollar contract (per NHL.com) at an Annual Average Value (AAV) of $6M/Year that will keep the veteran defenseman under agreement with the team until 2023.

The former first round pick cashed in on a fantastic season that saw him step into more of a veteran leader role, and away from the rookie role he had held through most of his first 4 seasons.

Dumba finished with 50 points, including career highs in goals (14) and assists (36) while being the most stable piece on the blueline.
