Barzal is arguably more available than Dobson

I'm under the belief that Vladdy is going to an east coast team in a sign and trade, and its likely going to be for a good, young defenseman, and Dobson was the first one I found

Blues say no to the first trade fs Dobson is an RD

If you are under the belief that any team in the NHL will ever pay extra for a sign-and-trade you are sorely mistaken. That is simply not a thing in the NHL

I'm under the belief that Vladdy is going to an east coast team in a sign and trade, and its likely going to be for a good, young defenseman, and Dobson was the first one I found

but are they really paying a lot? I know dobson is a valuable piece but Vladdy put up 30 goals last year and I know NHL teams eat that stuff up.

That's why I signed Kulak. It was more about getting a fit for Perunovich and our play style

Vladdy is a pending UFA and Dobson is a 50 point defenseman in a system that offers very little offense and just finishing his ELC. For example Zach Werenski was a 44 point dman at the end of his ELC in a very similar system

Tank could probably get a decent return but you aren't getting anyone with #1 potential for him

I was not aware of Dobson's value before this. However, if a GM can trade Pavel Buchnevich for Sammy Blais, anything can happen

Domestic make up for it we need a top line LD

Under what circumstance would any GM, Give up a young stud Dman like Dobson? For an aging broken down Vlad Tarasenko who's already had two major shoulder injuries. Yeah this is so not happening.

Vladdy is 29, had a fully healthy season, and put up 84 points. He's going to be traded this offseason, and some GM is going to pay up

"Are they really paying a lot?" LOL! Dobson is a 22-year old right-handed defenseman that is already putting up elite underlying numbers and had a 50+ point season as a defenseman under the most conservative, boring system in the league under Trotz. Based on your comment you don't seem to have a clue about player valuation if you seriously don't think Isles are giving up a lot in this trade.

And he was paired almost exclusively with Chara.

You are delusional, you wouldn't trade Tarasenko who's 30 years old, one year away from UFA, and gone through some major surgeries even if he was healthy this season, for a 22-year old right-handed defenseman that is already putting up elite underlying numbers and 50+ points as a defenseman under the most conservative, boring system in the league under Trotz. "fs Dobson is an RD", so you rather not take the best player you could get because he's a rightie LOL. This logic is so flawed, you always draft or trade for the best possible player, for instance the Blues could trade Faulk if it bothers them to have 3 highly paid RD. Would you have chosen Laine instead of Matthews in the 2016 draft if your team already had good center depth but a need on the wings?

Db1899 this guy wouldn't trade Tarasenko for Dobson lol. And HolyShildt doesn't even think Isles give up much in this deal "but are they really paying a lot?" Haha these fans...

We aren’t gonna give Taresenko and a first for a guy that would be on our 3RD is Dobson a top 4 player yes but we have Faulk and Parakyo so it makes no sense for us at all
Your delusional if you think it does

Haha ok. A semi-late 1st and Tarasenko for Dobson, no thanks lol.
