Player Discussion: Noah Dobson

[impaaaaaact]

Dobson should probably be traded.

If we go full rebuild/mostly rebuild then he’s our highest value asset to trade to a team like MTL or SJ that are flush with picks/prospects.

If we try and compete next year and keep Roy around, I think it’s been pretty clear that Dobson hasn’t been at his best in Roy’s system. You look look for a trade for a center - maybe it’s Petterson, maybe it’s Rossi.

If we bring in a new coach with the new GM and the plan is to compete, I can see them keeping him around. Can a new coach get him to the next level? It’s possible, if not probable. Also gotta think a right side of Deangelo/pulock/Mayfield might not be the most attractive thing to a perspective new coach.

I don’t want to hear about Dobson not being “clutch” in the playoffs considering the Hurricanes just made the Devils look like an AHL team.

A lot.

Meds....

We played Carolina in back to back playoffs. Carolina have shown they can make very good players look mediocre. Dobson’s lack of production in the last two playoff years shouldn’t be held against him.

That $9M Dougie Hamilton looked very Dobson-like. Buckle up for the ride.

I am holding it against him because he’s supposed to produce. Arguably a top five impact player on the team, he needs to be held accountable.

When you go asking for an 8 year deal making #1 defenseman money we have to hold him accountable. The fact of the matter is he has not shown one single time he is able to produce come playoff time, he still has not shown the ability to run a successful PP, and he has MANY question marks defensively.
