Don't let Dubnyk's subpar numbers from last season (12-13, 2.71 GAA, 91.6 SV%) fool you. He outplayed Nikolai Khabibulin and may have earned the right to be the starter this season. The Oilers' decision on whether to stick with the veteran Khabibulin or go with Dubnyk promises to be one of the bigger questions in training camp. Edmonton is a young, up-and-coming team, and may prefer to have a young goalie grow with that nucleus. However, the defense is still a work in progress and there will be games where Dubnyk will see more rubber than a tire factory, but he is a tender worth watching in 2011-12.
