Dream on.
Just a pipe dream. The Isles will be too good to get a shot at the 1OA this year and San Jose will wind up with the 3rd or 4th pick in the draft because that’s how the lottery will fall. Columbus will probably win it if I had to make an early guess.

I don't think anyone would be upset about that. I know I'm satisfied with the Celebrini luck, no need to get greedy.

If the Isles somehow found a way to win the lottery and draft Hagens, a few fanbases would cry conspiracy that the draft is rigged.

So the Isles trade away their best young RHD?

Makes sense.

Lou should be shot before that happens.

Then again he’d probably keep kicking.

A bunch of their fans question what it will take to sign him long term and if it's actually worth it given his defensive liabilities vs the potential windfall that could be gotten for trading him now, so it's understandable somewhat

I can dream of the leafs getting Marner to waive and then trading him for Dobson but it would never happen in a million years.

Marner as a UFA vs Dobson as a RFA after this year does not line up. Marner waiving his NMC is only one layer to it. Both players come with extensions? That's easier said than done. If Marner leaves Toronto, I bet you he chooses a team on the west coast so he don't have to play against the Leafs that much.

What does the Islanders D look like without Dobson on the RD side? I think some Islanders fans are exaggerating his defensive liabilities as a 24 year old D man.

Fun to talk about it but he's going nowhere IMO. He's staying in NY

Ya, I agree, but in fairness Lou had saddled them with a bunch of long deals I didn't like the day they were signed, Engvall chief amongst them, so I can understand their trepidation

They will unload other contracts and pay a price to do that before they trade Dobson IMO. It's not easy to find a young RD like that and trading him would leave a massive top 4RD hole.

Granted, but given the makeup of that team, I would wanna fire Lou into the sun & blow it all up, so he would fetch an absolute king's ransom were they to go that route... which they won't, lol
