Player Discussion: Noah Dobson

Utah moving to #4 actually might be looking more for now then getting an 18 year old

I could see something like Dobson and Denny Nelson for 4 and 2026 2nd

Sharks fan trying to get a sense of Misa vs Schaefer on your board but also a Utah season ticket holder. Utah does not need defense so I doubt they'd be interested in Dobson. We need impact forwards and ideally a 2C that is young and ready to win now. Don't know anything about Nelson but he's big which we also need. Just seems unlikely they make this trade with Dobson being the center piece after acquiring Sergachev and Marino.

I think that we take Schaefer unless SJ or Chicago absolutely blow us out of the water. A new GM coming in and moving the #1 feels unlikely. Hasn't happened for over 20 years

Agree. As fun as it is to debate organizational need, I dont see how you dont just draft BPA and that would be Schaefer unless something changes between now and the draft that has Misa/Schaefer a ? in terms of who is BPA. Really hoping you guys take Misa but happy to get one of the two as a Sharks fan.

Frondell makes a ton of sense for Utah. We need size and centers more than anything. I'd also be interested in Martone but I think he goes to Chicago. Hagens seems like a pass given we are already a small team

I would put Nelson in the middle 6 category. I don't see him being a big point producer but basically a guy who might get you 40-50 points and play a good 2 way game. Probably not the type you want if looking for high offensive output, but a solid center to fill out the roster. Of coarse no guarantee he reaches that level. well worth more then that 2nd rounder to make up a bit of the difference basically.

But yeah if you comfortable with your defense then I can see why you might pass to take a chance on a higher output center which is why I would be willing to try take a chance on Hagens by trading a more proven player(albiet one who will get a big payday this summer)

Maybe we can hire Rick Dudley. lol

Always Leary to trade a proven young right handed 70 point d man that albeit is soft and kinda regressed for magic beans.

He’s “proven” if he’s hit 70 a few times. He’s done it once. He basically had one breakout year and yes, has regressed from that. Potential to get back, but as of right now he’s a tweeter 2/3 with flaws in his game.
