Hell noWould the Isles actually move Dobson?

Nelson is 10 years older and entering the twilight of his career, Rossi is on an ELC and hasn't even entered his prime. Your expectation that Nelson will not decline due to age is naive, or disingenuous. Can't be bothered to figure out which.Why not? If the Wild turn out to be a real playoff contender, why wouldn't they want to trade for a tru 2C, probably low 1C who is a constant to get you 35 & 35 every year. His play will age well and he's from Minnesota so he definitely wouldn't oppose it. Trading Rossi is tricky, but if you don't believe he a huge piece to build around then going for it while also getting a pick back is reasonable. Nelson on his own would get a 1st + a decent player which is probably around Rossi's value, and the pick covers the future risk you take, even though you get better
Dobson is a restricted free agent. Lou usually gets those guys signed long term at fair or below market value.Not surprised the isles want to trade an unsigned player (Dobson) for someone with term (kaprisov)
Nobody wants to play for the isles unless you overpay them. I can’t think of one free agent that took a discount to sign with NYI
Uncle Lou is only able to sign bottom 6 players to lifetime contracts.
Why not?
no kidding. one's a top 5 winger man, lol.As much as I like Dobson, Kaprizov for me is more valuable than him. Don't know enough about the other guys in the deal to judge it overall but if Kap is willing to stay with the wild, I'm not trading him.
To be fair Dobson is probably Top 10D or close to it. He was 8th in Norris voting last year.no kidding. one's a top 5 winger man, lol.
Not without an overpayment in return that makes the Isles better overall.Would the Isles actually move Dobson?
