It doesn’t make sense to trade Dobson at all

i could see it if they are far apart on money and short of cap.

No, you don’t. Because if you really wanted Dobson, you could trade Stutzle for Dobson+. All else being equal, the centre is always the most valuable position.

This the same dumb argument we had the other day (yes I too was apart of the dumb argument and I will join again cause I am dumb) - these guys need more seasons under their belt preferably seeing where they go by December.

Dobson looks like a asset that the Isles would regret ever moving (Toews situation 2.0) - and he’s much younger. He’s not moving unless Lou is actually trolling.

Stutzle was a gift to Ottawa and would have been 1st OA imo if I was drafting. He was a lethal winger who’s found a home at Center. Can he stay there? We’ll find out this year.

Right Shot RD and Centers are arguably the most valuable positions behind goalie.

I’m only taking Stutzle because he should be in teal 🫠

He’s only a “terrible finisher” because a lot of his shots are rebounds, which you’re not gonna score all the time, but most models count as a very high iXG number, due to being like 2 feet from the net. And that’s more on the limitations of public xG models than Brady, we need pre-shot puck movement and goalie positioning to be taken into account to refine those models, but that data just isn’t publicly available yet. His high danger chances are also likely inflated due to this, but his shot is fine, and I’d rather have a guy dominating the net front than being pushed to the perimeter. His on ice impact is significant in other ways too, including being a nightmare on the forecheck, and causing goals he doesn’t get points on by creating havoc in front/screening. Expecting everyone to be elite defensively is archaic, if you really want that just re-hire Trotz.

He’s already signed

you sure. i havent seen it reported but to be honest i havent been keeping up.

It really depends on which position you need

Not really, since Stutzle is far better.

We gotta relax with all these “this player is FAR better”
Both players have had ONE good season… ONLY ONE

First of all, let me clarify in saying Dobson is a great young defender and is already top pairing material at a young age. None of this is a knock against Dobson.

You mention Stutzle only had one good season. Let’s remember that he’s also only 20 years old. The fact that he’s been able to be the calibre of player that he is at his age is extremely impressive. Definitely could see him being a top 10 centre in years to come.

Defensemen also take much longer to develop so Dobson at 22 putting up 50 points is impressive. A 20 year old Stutzle put up only a few more points than Dobson and an offensive black hole of a team. Not saying Dobson is better but people need to relax with these comparisons. They are basically both fetuses in the NHL 😂

It’s funny that not many ppl think like this. A lot of fans that don’t watch him seem to think he only tops as an Ehlers/Dubois level or not even a centre

Ya I think he’s underrated.

Kinda disappointing how much people overrate young players based on one season. Let the kid play Atleast 3-5 full seasons before saying he is way better than someone
