the only reason islanders fans are saying that is because they are salty
Funny that some have started dumping on him when he was their best D man pretty much since he was drafted. Bit of a joke to me.
As an Islanders fan, I have never been too high or too low on Noah Dobson. He was a solid Dman while on Long Island and, as someone who has watched almost every Islanders game for the last decade or more, I would rate Dobson as one of the top 5 Dmen Islander Dmen in that time period. That being said, I do not think he is an elite Dman worth $9.5 million or more, and I say or more because I do believe he took less to play for the team he always wanted to play for; good for him; no hard feelings. The Islanders got value for him in return, and we will see how this trade looks in 3 – 4 years; if Heineman, Eklund, and Aitcheson continue to progress into the quality of NHL players that many predict, this could potentially be a huge win for the Isles. As for Dobson, I don't think you will see the 70-point Dman of 2 seasons ago, but I do think you will see a consistent 40 – 50-point Dman who is good in his own end. He will never come up in Norris conversations going forward, but his replace on Long Island might.
I think it's Mike Matheson syndrome. Once a dman becomes the best dman on your team, the expectations become exponential. Every mistake becomes humongous while every great play becomes expected. The fans expectations become even crazier when the team is losing because this guy was going to save the team from failure.
Like if a NHL team doesn't have advanced AI tools to simulate how X player would affect their projected roster. Let HuGo cook.
Sure that the Islander's are now frustrated because he's not theirs no more they try to find flaws in him to covering the pain of the loss
I am not as negative as some Islander fans on Dobson, but I must say I hate fancy stats. Simple fact is he is above average offensively and average at best(and that is being kind) defensively
Islander fan here I think he’s actually gonna be really good for them. But paying him 9.5m is paying for not what he is, but for what he can be. Analytics to tell the true story of how his production went down, but defense kind of went up however turnovers in crucial parts of the game don’t get shown in analytics. It’s one thing to give up the puck/blow defensive assignment when you’re already up by two or completely out of the game, but it’s another thing to give up the puck when you’re pushing for a goal. A lot of his turnovers were untimely, causing some Islander fans to show some shade.
Islander fan here. The saltiness stems from the Isles powerplay being so abysmal and Dobson took the blame for it. Yes he made some bad plays. Barzal missed 52 games last season. It just goes to show how valuable Barzal is, especially on the powerplay. I think the Islanders got a very good return on the trade but it will have to be evaluated in a few years when those picks make it to the team.
I love Dobson I’m an islanders fan sorry to see him go, but not at 9.5, Charlie McAvoy 9.5 how in the world Dobson is getting 9.5, Charlie should get 12.5 or more if there going to give Dobson 9.5 it makes no sense. The Montréal Canadiens will always sit on the edge of the seats, waiting for no adoption to live up to his contract. Good luck l let’s go Islanders.
He’s not bad but not great. Habs fans will be happy but not thrilled
Enjoy Montreal ! You’ll get it by mid season. Great person average defenseman. Good Shot, an abomination defensively. Not a PP QB Not a PK defenseman. The metrics just don’t tell the story. God Bless ! I believe he would be a Norris Trophy guy, but you realize he just doesn’t have the nasty or intestinal fortitude.
