What's going on with dobson ????? I just heard french sports radio saying they'd trade slafkovsky for Dobson

He was who I wanted the year we grabbed zadina... what the hell , is Louis actually shopping him??? Hes lost it ... I'd be all over dobson in a second but we have pellikka

Right side of seider Dobson pellikka would be insane but unless pellikka turns into someone who's not as good as were all hoping I cant see how it works. I just dont know why nyi are shopping him

I like Dobson a lot but he's still probably going to get a Hronek type deal at min, and we'd have to give up a solid asset to get him. While I do want to address a LD partner for Seider, I would like it to be a semi cost effective vet. We have far less established young offensive assets than defensive assets, so I don't see the need to deal from a position of weakness to address something that is a strength long term. (I hate Chia in the top 4 but I'd rather deal with that until the off season than give up Buch, Danielson, Kasper etc.)

A fair point. But I'd still go to the table and see what I could get away with.

For example, would you swap Debrincat for Dobson? Or would you see if Lou was crazy enough to take a lesser combination of Berggren, Rasmussen, and some picks?

You don't know if you don't try.

I would love Dobson, but there is no way in hell we could match what others would offer for him. Lou is looking for proven current talent, not futures.

If somebody doesn't happen to like a given player, they have a right to their opinion. But how exactly does Dobson not fit? He's a 6'4" defenseman with 215 points in 363 career games who eats minutes, making $4M, with horrible timing to have a down year and get hurt before becoming an RFA.

I'm certainly not rushing to get rid of a Kasper or a Danielson. But depending on how long the kid needs to get healthy, I'm ABSOLUTELY lining up to work my options for a Dobson trade - good players in that age bracket are EXACTLY what Detroit should be shopping for.

Here's an excerpt from a current story on the situation:


"Dobson is currently on long-term injured reserve after sustaining a lower-body injury on Jan. 4. Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello said he could return to the ice during the latter part of the upcoming two-week break, but there is no timetable for when he will be game-ready.

"There's no point in shopping Dobson just to stop him because he's still an incredibly valuable defenseman, at just 24. However, as we've speculated numerous times here, if Dobson can be the key piece in a trade for a talented forward, that makes more sense on the Islanders' front.

"And most teams around the NHL would be in the market for a top-end offensive defenseman who still has a ton of potential."

Shhh. Don't try and rationalize it. Just let the angry boomer yell at the clouds.

Dobson obviously won't fit what we're trying to build on our back end. Big minute munching dmen that are young and can be inserted in the top 4.

Obviously chiarot is the ideal man for the job.
 
Dobson is a really good young player. I'm also not sure I want anything to do with his next contract. And for all the what's Lou thinking? It's that.

If we're fishing for someone from the isles I still ask about pelech and pulock first.

C'mon, there are no legs to the Dobson stuff, not even flippers. The dubious source admits it's pure speculation that it's been regurgitating for a while and he's now on IR. The Islanders had to drag DeAngelo out of Russia and claim Boqvist off waivers because they have no one who can do what their 25yo 1D can do, and no one in the pipeline who might. They also have no one besides Dobson who's going to need a new big deal anytime soon.
 
I still wonder about Cozens and whether our "interest" still has legs(mentioned again by Weekes)...

I thought a month ago no chance but I can see the appeal and not sure the cost would be outrageous

I think they wanted Kasper and that's a hell no after the last month. I'm fine waiting them out ..I'd love to take a chance on him if the price is low.

Bro, Mittelstadt is the softest player in league history not named Cholowski.
