Blockbuster 4-Piece Trade Proposal Emerges Between Canadiens and Islanders
Since a few days ago, the name of star defenseman Noah Dobson has been circulating heavily on the National Hockey League trade market.
In fact, we recently learned that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens are officially in the race for this acquisition.
Knowing this, well, the excellent Marco Normandin (HABSolumentFan) has just proposed a concrete trade offer between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Islanders, involving four pieces, including Dobson.
A trade proposal from Marco Normandin between the Canadiens and Patrick Roy's Islanders, involving Noah Dobson and David Reinbacher
With Dobson being an elite right-handed defenseman, reportedly available on the trade market, and set to become a restricted free agent (RFA) this summer, while also instantly becoming the Canadiens' best defenseman, here is the trade proposal from analyst Normandin.
«The easy answer would be Kirby Dach + Logan Mailloux + a first-round pick.
But that won't be enough.»
- Marco Normandin
So, here is his suggested trade.
Would you accept the following trade, assuming it comes with an eight-year contract extension for Dobson in Montreal?
To Montreal:
Noah Dobson
To the Islanders:
David Reinbacher +
2026 first-round pick (Top-10 protected)
Personally, I wouldn't be against this trade, but I also don't think it would be an incredible home run.
It all depends on your opinion of young David Reinbacher.
