Speculation: Noah Dobson Fires Agent; Heads to Judd Moldaver at Wasserman

[biturbo19]

Have to imagine this has something to do with the advice his previous agent gave him about taking that sort of weird "in between" bridge type deal, with the promise of bigtime cashing in at the end of it - and presumably negotiations aren't looking as insanely lucrative as promised? Or...?

He's going to be a tricky contract to negotiate in any event. He's got all the "counting stats" to garner an absolute megadeal...but the defensive play still isn't there at that 1D sort of level to justify it completely.

Something either went really wrong in his development or he’s not being utilized properly

1st, Willander, Lekkermaki


That being said, Lou is rumored to only want to move Dobson for an equally touted forward.

Don’t know who that could be? 23-26 year old elite offensive/scoring skills.

I dont think youre gonna get a 1st and two top 15 prospects thats not in the NHL.

Fair enough though. Dobson is a good player.

Schmaltz and Durzi for Dobson

"Hey Lou, this is Kent Hughes from the Montreal Canadiens...I hear you're looking for a highly skilled young forward that can snipe with the best of 'em...as it happens, I have this kid named Laine, former 2nd Overall pick a few years ago...kid's got an amazing shot and is a real TEAM FIRST guy...so why don't I just get the paperwork ready and you let Noah Dobson know he's on his way to Montreal...really think you're gonna luv this Laine kid, Lou; he's something..."


...yes, I'm well aware that Lou's dementia isn't quite THAT bad yet...but it never hurts to try...

Gotta think he's looking at comps and the cap going up and realistically thinks he should get in the 10.5-11.5 range. Obviously, Islanders aren't comfortable with that, will be intersting to see how it plays out.

If he wants over 10, trade him.

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked at Laine +++. You dump your misfit toys on us with a pick. Laine + Dach + 1st + Reinbacher. 3 former top 5 picks, how could Lou turn it down?!?!

Hope you don't teach your kids those types of values

Teach them to maximize their potential and not be taken advantage of? Or to stand up for what is right?

Yeah, that’s exactly what they should be taught.
