Matthew Dumba will be given a chance to make the Wild in camp this season.
The 2012 first-round pick who is only 18 years old stuck with the team for learning purposes for eight days last season. The defenseman will either play in the AHL or NHL next season. "I don't think you're going to corner him out. He's a dynamic kid the way he plays the game," Wild assistant general manager Brent Flahr said. "We're not putting any pressure on him, but if you ask him, I'm sure he's coming to camp to make the team. Some of the things he brings is really attractive and we could really use, but we're not going to force him. We'll give him a good look." Dumba, who had 16 goals and 26 assists in the WHL last year, is a very exciting talent.
