It's the same argument about age range though. Say they start in 2024-25 (25 years old) and draft a few guys in the top 5 during an incredible draft. Those guys are maybe up and running at full speed in the NHL by 2028-29 (I mean really kicking butt at a 200-ft game like Bedard will in a few years). Dobson is 28-29. Yeah he's good, but for how many more years?

Also, how do you tank that badly in 2024-25 with Dobson kicking butt every night?

28-29 are usually elite defenseman's best years.

What are we even talking about? 🤣

Dobson is 1 player.

If the Isles are tanking it's not going to make much of a difference.

No idea. I wanna cut bait on my argument... I agree with you too much.

LOL.

You're alright John. You're alright. 😁

It's a hypothetical site though, trading Dobson is as unlikely as the Habs trading their 2024 1st round pick for him. What if that pick becomes Celebrini? Then the Habs are giving up way more than Dobson is worth.

It's supposed to be a fun site, why just put people down and say the obvious that it's unrealistic? Why not try to have constructive criticism and actually engage in a fun conversation

Even if the Isles do end up deciding to rebuild (they won't), Dobson is the main guy to build around, there's no realistic scenario where he gets moved

even if they do tear it down, dobson probably stays as he is 24. Doesn't make sense even in that context.
