Dumba, 22, recorded 26 points (10 goals, 16 assists) in 81 games for the Wild last year – totaling career highs in several categories including games played, goals, assists and points.
He is especially known for his powerful slap shot.
Dumba was selected by the Wild in the first round, No. 7 overall, in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
