Player Discussion: Noah Dobson

[Throttle]

Noah Dobson supporting Shaefer? Yeesh, the Isles are head down the wrong road on that one.

Dobson needs to learn to support himself vs. being a bunch of buzzwords about himself.

$2.5 is the price for a "team player"

There’s no reports of Tony D being an issue with the Isles.

I’m more than fine with reallocating Dobson’s soon to be contract cap hit/term for:
- different assets
- different use of cap space
- cover with Tony D
- accept the risk of Tony Ds defensive shortcomings due to his price.

There’s tradeoffs in moving Dobson, but so far other than ‘market price’ there’s nothing showing Dobson is worth that price. He barely had an impact on the lowly World Championships…

You can trade Dobson now because he is unsigned, making him a value....
Sign him to a multi-year 10+ mil deal and see how many teams lose interest...

He’s Nurse, Jones, Hamilton special. No doubt.

100%...
Let some other sucker team pay him that.
I will take the value back in a trade....
Give me Robertson or a High Pick in the Draft, either this year or Next....

If it’s common knowledge that Dobson is asking for $11M/yr, he already tanked his trade value. Who else do you think will pay him that much? Any trade Darche makes now for Dobson will come up short of fair value.

The point is a team will "Hope" to get him to sign for a reasonable amount.
If we sign him for anything close to that, it tanks his value.
He is not worth that $

i can’t see another team “hope” or “wish” to get him with that ask already out there.

All it takes is "One Sucker". Just like UFA frenzy time in July

The cap is going up 25%. 10.6M will be the equivalent cap % of 8.5M.

Does he compare to Sergachev/Sanderson/Hamilton? I'd say so. NYI put themselves in this position by not signing Dobson to a longer deal earlier.

I don't think his value is as tanked as you all might think. It's a huge risk for him to go ahead and play for a year under arbitration to reach UFA.

I don't think this is some dire situation.

Based on what I saw this season, I tend to agree with this.
But I don't follow the Isles as closely as you guys do.
I hope the 23-24 season wasn't an outlier.

 

[Islanders100]

Dobson is worth no more than $8.5M per season. That is also factoring in the cap going up a lot.

Dobson being comparable to Hamilton would be a good reason to trade him for whatever they can get.
