Minnesota Wild Acquire Devan Dubnyk

Fantasy Impact: The Minnesota Wild have acquired Devan Dubnyk from the Arizona Coyotes for a third-round draft pick.
We all knew this was coming. With Josh Harding battling injury (and MS), Darcy Kuemper injured and Nicklas Backstrom not even a shadow of his former self – the Wild were floundering. I noted in today’s ramblings that the playoffs were becoming a pipe dream. It was either solve the goaltending problems immediately, or watch that slim playoff hope morph into zero playoff hope. I had suggested James Reimer (who would be a great option with an appealing contract) or Cam Ward (or his relatively high-priced backup at $2 million – Anton Khudobin). Rumors around the Internet today had the Wild possibly taking a run at Martin Jones, who would be another great option.
Instead they go with Dubnyk. I don’t mind this move from a Minnesota standpoint, but I want to take a moment to look at this from the Arizona standpoint first.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. Dubnyk
2. McKenna
3. Smith
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Backstrom
2. Kuemper
