Dobson isn't being traded. 🤭

He's 24 years old and is having his best season. 🙄

you'd still post a known fact about a very unlikely trade assumption?

I didn't post it.

He did.

Why would the Isles trade Dobson? 🤔

Take off your Habs coloured glasses.

Every team in the NHL would love to have Noah Dobson on their team.

I could post a CFACGM saying "It's unlikely but McDavid to Toronto."

Then why post it?

Is this the new CFACGM way of avoiding criticism?

Back in the day we'd always see "I know it's Eklund but..."

Those were posted by fans who liked hearing their team may be acquiring star players.

That's why Eklund exists.

Fans love hearing it even when they know it's not true.

Today we all believe every "thought" Friedman has. 🙄

Buddy, it's a hypothetical site and 2 top 5 picks for Dobson would be a good offer that no other team in the league would offer for him. In reality it's a trade neither team does, that's why it's on here and not on TSN

Buddy. It works both ways.

Fantasyland trades make-up 99% of what happens on CFACGM.

Criticism is allowed here.

It's not illegal.

So post an actual critic of the trade, not rant about how the Isles don't do it. It's already an over pay but do you think the Isles make the Habs add? Do you think they add a veteran to fill a depth need with the loss of Dobson before Reinbacher is ready? Do you think the Islanders would need the 2024 first to be a certain number in the top 10?

All those questions are criticisms, none of what you actually stated are.

why post it : because private creation without posting on the main board is not a thing here. I've asked for such and got a fat NAY from modo! So yeah this is how we go here sometimes with fantasy delusion or adverting IMPOSSIBLE things, like this one.

It's not impossible that the Isles decide to tear it down and rebuild. They are deeply in the mushy middle. Maybe Lou steps away and the new GM sells a vision of drafting James Hagen's & Michael Misa in 2025. Hell of a way to kickoff a rebuild!

Even if they go scorched earth in a rebuild, Dobson would still be one of the guys they'd keep to build around. 24 year old point per game defensemen don't grow on trees.

There's no way to post a criticism of the trade because it's so unrealistic. If you listed every Islander player in order from most likely to be traded to least likely to be traded, Dobson is the last player on the bottom of that list and it's not close.

Team is definitely improved but still think they may be a year or two from playoffs. Just because of inexperience.

Thank you.

That's why I didn't answer.

The thought of the Isles trading Noah Dobson to "kick start a rebuild" baffles me. 🤔

Sure the Isles will have to rebuild eventually.

Lou can't live forever.

But why trade a 24 year old Noah Dobson? 🙄

Why don’t you guys take Willy at 11.5M for 8 years if SR resigns in Florida. I’m sure we can work out a deal
