Mathew Dumba has been sent to WHL Portland. Dumba was loaned from the Minnesota Wild to Team Canada for the 2014 World Junior Championship. That gave Minnesota some extra time to weigh their options. Sending him to the juniors means that Minnesota won't be using Dumba anymore in 2013-14, but he'll get a lot more playing time at that level. He averaged just 12:27 minutes per game in 13 contests with Minnesota.
