Minnesota Wild: Is Matt Dumba Truly Elite?

First off, just on the Minnesota Wild roster, you have at least one player that could be counted in the ‘elite’ bracket; that being Ryan Suter.

Suter has routinely put away forty to fifty points across multiple NHL seasons, all whilst having a positive defensive influence, if you look solely at plus/minus.

Dumba doesn’t necessarily have that same track record of multiple forty to fifty point years, but rather represents a more gradual curve to where he’s at today, as adjudged in his season preview. He too is rarely on the negative side of plus/minus across a season.
