An explanation why Islanders wouldn’t make this trade: Dobson will be our best defenseman in only 2 years. He’ll be better than Pulock and he’ll be better than Pelech. The change in play level between his rookie season and this season is so great that it shows that he’ll continue to improve as he gets more confident and develops his skill. He’a already one of the best defenseman on one of the best defensive teams in the league. And it’d be very difficult to get the islanders to trade Wahlstrom. He’s playing so fantastic. He’s a great skater, good defensively, impeccable shot and release, great passes, crucial on the PP, and he’s only 20. Parting with both of them to receive Gaudreau would make a hole the islanders cannot afford. Then adding a first round pick to that?
