Islanders will end up trading dobson to draft hagens
Friedman: Islanders “testing the market” on Dobson
- Thread starter Big Daddy Cane
- Start date
as a base? no ones trading a top 5 pick for Dobson as it stands right now
Not to mention Nashville isn't going to trade it for a defenseman, no matter how good.

True, he is worth even more! 2nd overall and Cheernyishow might be tempting.
Makes sense for the isles not the sharks. They are getting a cost controlled asset that likely becomes a star as good or better than Dobson. By the time are are competing dobsons in his late 20's early thirties and you gotta back up the Brinks truck for him. Easy no way for san jose
Money problems is the only reason Dallas is trading him.
25 year old 100 point players arnt getting traded. They cant afford him.
So they get a worse player for more money they cant afford?
If his asking is 11m.
Makes sense to me

Either way it aint working for Dallas, They are 4 forwards short as it stands now and thats going with a 22 man roster with 2.5 mill left in cap space
They absolutely can not take on another 8 figure cap hit.

That is essentially what Islander fans are hoping for right now.

If Jason Robertson is a 100 point forward than Noah Dobson is a 70 point defenseman.
Hey, they both did it once!

Yup. He is likely willing to take less to stay with the club he knows, and not have to proof and move. That’s worth some dollars on the AAV.

If they find takers for Dumba and Lyubushkin, they could absolutely make it work. But really they don’t need a RHD of Dobson’s quality. A 2nd pairing type of guy would be fine.
