Noah Dobson Makes Surprising Career Decision Ahead of Possible Trade
We have some interesting news regarding defenseman Noah Dobson, coming from TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie. The New York Islanders' star defenseman, who has been involved in multiple trade rumors over the past few days, has officially changed agents.
Well, well!
Normally, such a change can indeed occur when a player is about to be traded or is on the verge of signing a big contract.
In Dobson's case, it could be for both reasons.

Of course, let's remember that Dobson was just placed on the trade market by Lou Lamoriello and the New York Islanders.
This is a situation we continue to closely monitor, and it is becoming more and more serious.
Dobson, 25 years old, is a right-handed defenseman standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds. He has accumulated 24 points this season after recording 70 points in 79 games last season.
According to sources from Frank Seravalli, in exchange for their star defenseman, the New York Islanders are seeking offensive reinforcement, ideally a natural goal scorer.
It's no coincidence that some experts have also suggested a trade with the Vancouver Canucks involving Elias Pettersson in exchange for Dobson.
Dobson, who currently earns $4 million per year, will be a restricted free agent (RFA) at the end of this season.
