Having Dobson at 9.5 can also be used to sign Hudson for the long run without breaking the bank.
but can he play centre
Congrats on the pick up!
Great vid Junkie , totally agree ,but we have to get that seccond line center.
3m more than Suzuki?
Love the trade but.. we have to shed some cap space cause we’re over and a few holes remains to be filled while there’s at least two holes in the lineup and still no second center(Dvo is off the books, Armia is off the books and so is Pezz). Makes me think Matheson will have to be traded, and a few others if we’re getting a decent player to play top 6. That’s when you realize the weight of Price and Gally’s contracts…
He's from PEI? Awesome!
Dobson is a hell of a player. Kent is sending a message here: Habs are ALL IN.
There's no way I could have known what the Habs would do the night the Panthers clinched the cup.
I stand by my original statement.
DON'T MESS WITH THE SMURFS!
The cup is coming back to its only home…
GO HABS!!!
No, this is Awesome! I don't give a poop about picks this year. Totally worth it. Great move.
Nice work as always. Give us a heads up if yer comin ta Montreal, laddie. I hang out at an Irish Pub that is a haven for venerable east-coasters, Hurley's Irish Pub. It'd be an honor ta meet ya.
Mr. Hughes is quickly becoming Montreal royalty. Look what he’s done to this team, it’s incredible! This isn’t a bubble team anymore, it’s a contender!
Also Dobson is coming to a more offensive minded team compared to the isles which is great for him! I can’t wait to see him play in the Bleu, Blanc est Rouge this season
The whole reason a team drafts a defenceman is so that guy turns out to be a player of the calibre of a Noah Dobson. Dobson is a blue chip defenceman who has not even reached his prime yet. There are only a handful of d-men in the NHL that are better than him. Dobson might even be good enough to make Team Canada in future Olympics (maybe not the 2026 team but the next one after that)..He's that good. This is a steal for the Habs. Hughes trades 3 unproven youngsters for an Elite D-man yet to hit his prime..
Super pumped
Noah Dobson cost us litterally nothing the 16th was free and heineman was free too. we just gave 17th …. We got a primo offensive defender that can defend last season he got hurt in Dobson for litterally nothing I reapeat litteraly nothing. our defence core will breach the 300 points Matheson-Dobson, Hutson-Guhle, Carrier-Reinbacher I give 100% the RD to Reinbacher even tho both are RD Carrier should manage on the left. Heinemam is a bottom 6. The only one who retain my attention for 16th and 17th was Cootes/Reschny and Kashawn. I'm taking Dobson before them 1000%
you nailed it. this is a steal
GHG!
Hutson. Dobson. The Sons of anarchy.
I like Heineman but his role in the line up can be replaced with the habs mid 6 forward depth. 16&17 picks won’t be ready for years and will just repeat the death that’s already there. No nhl almost ready prospects given up. 9.5 should age well. Nice business
Dobby has a new master
When your building a great team you always start by your defence and right now that Habs are stacked on defence , I know Emil showed great speed and a killer shot but a winger is worth way less then a stud right handed dman ! I still think Mailloux will probably be the piece that moves for our 2 c . I’m only saying this cause Mailloux wasn’t drafted by Hughes so I can see him going in a package for a 2 c and if that doesn’t happen then I guess we’ll see if on July 1st we get a vet to fill the void till Hage is ready! The future is looking bright in Montreal !!!
Remember it was a weak draft class this year at 16 and 17.
After the draft as an isles fan, I’m very happy with this trade.
If we can get that 2C this summer we're gonna be cooookinnn
Now that the RD part is done, that Bennett resigned for 8 years, I deeply hope Kent and Jeff will overpay to get Anton Lundell so we can officially say "rebuild is done and we are rolling" !
I like Dobson but I like Reinbacher, Mailloux, Engstrom and Xhekaj. Heineman will be missed too. Maybe he scores 35-40 as an Islander with more ice time. Lane Hutson's agent just raised his asking price by about 20% I think. Maybe we could have gotten a 2nd line centre for that. Maybe Sid ???
HUGE!
Both the trade and Dobsen himself
That first sentence was literally me
"to sweeten the pot" is exactly what my dad said with head shaking disappointment
Feel sorry for core guys 🙁 getting 8 mil, when this new dudes comes and gets 10 mil right out of the door 🙁
Victor ecklund and justin carbonal would have been amazing
Habs D is looking absolutely stacked, ohmy
What I love most about this trade is the positive affect Dobson’s elite playmaking will have on Caufield’s goal totals next season.
In the NHL, top 4 right handed dmen are way harder to find than bottom six forwards, great great trade
If one of the 16th or 17th picks were possibly gonna be a Dobson type of player we would be so friggin' happy but since we have him right here right now some people are unhappy about losing those picks in that trade. I personally think that Hughes is playing 4D Chess and everyone else is playing Plinko. I LOVE this trade. And then to draft Zharovsky! Such a happy Habs fan today.
Prochaine etape : on fait quoi avec mailloux ?
