Minnesota Wild: Matt Dumba on the edge of early Norris conversations

27 games into the season for the Minnesota Wild and still riding the wave of his career-high NHL totals last year, Matt Dumba is proving his worth especially in light of the $6 million contract he signed in the summer.

Among all defensemen, he tops the league with his 10 goals so far, he ranks twelfth in points with 19, 22nd in ice time (24:01), 7th in shots with 82 and among defensemen that have played 10 or more games, 7th in shooting percentage at 12.2%.

Unfortunately though, his plus/minus numbers will likely rule the Minnesota Wild defensemen out of any conversation.
