Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

Dobson is an RFA to be. He can wait and prove he has minimized his deflating brain farts that result in major gaffes and goals against offsetting this offense.

If he doesn’t, you use that lower his ask.

He's a 70 point defenseman. He's not lowering shit based on "brain farts."

I can't believe he's played 3 seasons already, lol. Time just flies by....

And I'm thinking this could be the year that Hector Marini finally wins a spot in the starting lineup.

Here's an analytics site that shows offensive and defensive values.

Nothing we couldn't surmise ourselves but shows we need Horvat and Barzal to be better offensively or match where they were at last year. Nelson remains underrated in the league as far as being a second line producer.

One thing I think is slept on is our depth.

Good for him, but then he’s a 55 point defenseman based on his crap defense at times, costly turnovers, etc.

He’s offensively gifted, but he needs work on the back end so he’s not costing the Isles points.

I wouldn't be surprised to see his point totals decline under Roy with a healthier defense as a whole.

I don't anticipate Reilly usurping him on the first PP unit, but if they can put together a second unit that isn't just running around like chickens with their heads cut off, then that could also play a factor.

He's a 70 point defenseman and his value will be based on other 70 point defensemen around the league.
