Montreal Canadiens Acquire Noah Dobson from New York Islanders
The Montreal Canadiens have successfully acquired high-scoring defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders. Dobson has signed an eight-year contract with the Islanders before being traded to Montreal for draft picks and a forward prospect.
The Montreal Canadiens are set to acquire high-scoring defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders, as reported by NHL.com and Sportsnet. The Islanders signed Dobson to an eight-year contract before trading him to Montreal for two first-round draft picks and forward prospect Emil Heineman.
Dobson, 24, had a standout season in 2023-24 with 10 goals and 70 points, becoming the first Islanders defenseman since Denis Potvin to reach 60 assists. He has consistently increased his offensive output each season, hitting double-digit goals in every full NHL season.
Despite a slight dip in points this year, Dobson's potential remains high. The Islanders' offensive struggles this season, exacerbated by Mathew Barzal's absence, likely impacted Dobson's numbers. Montreal hopes Dobson will bolster their blue-line and add firepower to their offense.
