Value of: Your Team's best offer for Noah Dobson

[WhatTheDuck]

McTavish
Fowler
Vatrano (50% retained)

That kind of defenseman rarely gets traded, even less when they're not even in their prime and already performing like elite.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Easy decline from the Isles especially based on what other teams are offering.

I tried. I didn't expect to win.

 

[WangMustGo]

the ''win now'' Isles , hmm

how about something around Weeger and Kads (retained) with Dobber and Pageau headed west

Just what the isles need another 30 and 34 year old veteran.

Trading Dobson right now is peak stupidity.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If he is, indeed available Montreal is one of the 31 teams interested.

Thank you for your insights, Gaylord Q Tinkledink

Adding barzal means the Canucks won’t be cap compliant, I think it’s too messy to add a piece like barzal in here. If the Canucks season sours in the playoffs and EP underperforms, I can see an EP for Dobson trade next summer, small adds if need be.

Barzal sort of replaces EP...without him in the deal, the Canucks would still need a second line centre otherwise as they are competing now. Trading EP for Dobson alone would make the Canucks much worse. A big part of this trade is because the op thought the Islanders may go in a different direction and maybe wouldn't want to commit huge dollars to Dobson who is having an up and down season (along with Barzal and Pettersson). Isles get a franchise centre and Canucks get a solid top pair Dman and a solid 1B/second line centre.

Cap wise, Barzal = $9.15; Dobson = $4M (for now); total = $13.15...Pettersson = $11.6M so the Canucks need to create $1.55M of space which I believe they would have by waiving the RD who is losing their spot to Dobson along with what they left in space.

Someone posted up on a EP and hoglander for Dobson and Nelson, I think this is the most logical proposal
