That being said, I think they both got fair deals. Not only is Lindback going to get the chance to prove himself, but Dubnyk is 26 I believe, and would have been an UFA at the end of the 12-13 season, so they paid a little more to buy those UFA years from him, and see if he can continue to improve.

Just seems like a high dollar amount to only buy one year of UFA.

good deal for us and for him. he can proove himself and he didn't make a long-term committment.
still can't believe that dubnyk almost got as much as pavelec and schneider
