Friedman: Islanders “testing the market” on Dobson

[wingsfannnn9191]

Islanders will end up trading dobson to draft hagens

 

[hockfan1991]

It's got to be futures heavy I could see Nashville offering 5 and wood/kemmel as a base

as a base? no ones trading a top 5 pick for Dobson as it stands right now

 

[Soundgarden]

Not to mention Nashville isn't going to trade it for a defenseman, no matter how good.

 

[Wanderson]

Dobson isn’t worth even close to 2nd overall. Not even CLOSE.

True, he is worth even more! 2nd overall and Cheernyishow might be tempting.

 

[hockfan1991]

I still think Dobson for 2nd OA makes a ton of sense for both sides, but I know Sharks fans would just prefer the pick.

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

 

[hockfan1991]

Jason Robertson for Dobson.

Stars badly need another top 4 RHD and Dobson would fill that hole.

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

$11M might be his NY ask. Texas ask maybe high 9's?

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!

 

[Fatass]

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.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Does Colorado have any 2nd round picks they can give New York?

 

[hockfan1991]

If Jason Robertson is a 100 point forward than Noah Dobson is a 70 point defenseman.

Hey, they both did it once!

thats fine.

how about Robertson the ppg 25 year old

 

[ExtraLoveSauce]

as a base? no ones trading a top 5 pick for Dobson as it stands right now

Um what about the 9th+byram+rosen for Dobson and barzal that should be in the ball park for fair value

 

[BelovedIsles]

Dobson + for Robertson.

 

[Juxtaposer]

True, he is worth even more! 2nd overall and Cheernyishow might be tempting.

In your wildest dreams.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

7th overall + McAvoy for Dobson.

Isles draft Hagens.

A double homecoming.

 

[Beerz]

7th overall + McAvoy for Dobson.

Isles draft Hagens.

A double homecoming.

McAvoy is better

 

[Juxtaposer]

7th overall + McAvoy for Dobson.

Isles fans suddenly emerging as the most brainless fanbase on HF was not on my bingo card and yet here we are.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

They should lock up Dobson as he has Norris potential.

 

[Wanderson]

In your wildest dreams.

It’s meant to be! It’s stated in his name!

 

[Oddbob]

They make no sense. They resign 34 year old Palmieri, but want to trade their best defenceman who is still young?
