It's true that rebuilds do not really work… When you have a prospect pool.
Some teams have emptied everything to stay on top (penguins), made bad decisions for a decade (islanders) or decided to do minor patching without fixing up the farm system (canadiens)
Here are my thoughts
😊 here are my thoughts. Dobson gets to get paid American dollars and lives in Canadian dollars show his nine and change comes out to be a lot closer to 13. Just saying
8 to 9 million max. Unless he becomes solid defensively and makes 70+ points per year. Then it's a 10 mil guy. Can't wait for Habs' actual content. I'm tired of you guys over juicing that old dried up lemon.
Dobson took less than he demanded from the islanders, him and roy didn’t get along. Roy’s system doesn’t fit a puck moving dman like Dobson
Darche might have been willing to give him around 9 but he was asking for 10.5-11 from the Islanders because he wanted to leave.
Can't blame them: young and talented, going into his prime in the next 2-3 years…
Dobson is not worth but he’s getting paid plain and simple last year. Proved that he is not the quarterback that people think he is due to his 170 point season which very well at this point could be an anomaly he is sorry defensively terrible on the PK the power play last year proved that he doesn’t make That big of a difference there and could he be worth that in the future sure he could be worth 9 1/2 $10 million in the future but he’s not gonna be worth that for half of his contract at least to pay a guy 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 million dollars a year and you’re only gonna get maybe four out of those eight years to be worthy of 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 million dollars, so in the long run just to get four years worth of that production, which is not a guarantee to begin with you have to overpay significantly for the other four years it doesn’t make sense
