Value of: Dobson to Montreal

[Breakers]

So does it sound like the islanders just don’t want to pay him

He’s an rfa
But is in 8 figure AAV territory

I don t think he is worth 10+ and I like him a lot since his draft. He is not one of the top QBs in this league, and not one of the top defensive Dmen either. He is good everywhere and has very good Puck and passing skills but to me that does not make him worth 10+ per year.

Zub would be better and cheaper option. Of course I doubt Ottawa will trade him to Montreal...

Matheson has 1 more year. So you'd rather have Savard as a rental? But you guys probably aren't even making the playoffs.

Rather have the rental then the extra year of a cap hit with another player who realistically doesn’t fill a need outside of wasted cap space. Deal with Savard until the summer then give the roster even more flexibility instead of being stuck with another aging veteran. Plus Matheson makes an additional $1m per year compared to Savard ($4.88 vs $3.5). He’s your cap problem until 2026.

Owen Beck has a YG already in the Upper Deck set, he has MASSIVE value.

not for Dobson though, wtf is this anyways lmao. I prob wouldnt take the entire batch in the OP for Dobson.
improve the offer or kick rocks. its pretty simple really

thats... quite the statement, given that the "batch" is:

1 top 4 roster D,
3 (probably B level) forwards with top 9 potential
2 D prospects, one of which is likely top 4 material,
3 1st rounders in the next 2 drafts (not protected that i can see)
7 picks in the 2nd-4th round range.

That was a joke. Beck is another middle of the pack prospect who’s getting hype because he’s with Montreal. Overall not even worth it for the Isles.

I think you overvalue Dobson. He's not having a great year then will have to pay him a ton of money.

Lol I'd say that's rather short sighted to only value Dobson based on one season. I mean he put up ~70 pts last season, and 51 + 49 in the seasons prior and he only just turned 25 in January.

Additionally, it's pretty much the entire NYI who are having a down year - it's not a Dobson specific thing.

I pass on Dobson. I rather keep Matheson at RD with Hutson, and see if we can trade for Nemec instead.

Aside from age, I find points, corsi, hits, blocks, giveaways, and takeaways similar between Dobson and Matheson.

Big fan of Dobson but cost to acquire is too high and his next contract will be something I rather avoid. It's enough we will have to extend Hutson

Most Habs fans have Beck as a B+ type and we know is is probably a 3C if he reaches his ceiling. But then other fans like you see some talk about him and think our entire fan base is overrating him.

Habs are not trading for Dobson. Cost is too high and his next contract will be too high as well.

Habs are better off keeping Matheson at RD with Hutson while we let Reinbacher develop and search for someone like Nemec instead (trade).

I'm a big fan of Dobson but I like what Matheson provides at RD. Dobson stands to improve on the D side but today, he's not that much better than Matheson in the D zone. Go check the corsi, points, hits, blocks, giveaways, and takeaways.

Some Habs fans are too guilty of overlooking what Matheson is providing us. They want to trade everything that is older than Suzuki.
