Islanders’ Noah Dobson switches agents with major contract talks looming
NY Post
MONTREAL — Ahead of hitting restricted free agency this summer, Noah Dobson has switched agencies, The Post has learned.
Dobson is now represented by Wasserman Hockey, having dropped Andrew Maloney of Maloney and Thompson.
The 25-year-old Islanders defenseman is in the midst of a down season and currently dealing with a right leg injury suffered on Martin Luther King Jr. Day against Columbus. He is expected to start skating during the 4 Nations break.
Dobson was eligible to sign a contract extension last summer but chose to wait, knowing that the salary cap was set to rise.
With the jump set to be more than originally anticipated, that piece of decision-making will likely pay off.
Though a restricted free agent, Dobson has more leverage than a typical RFA. He is arbitration-eligible and could choose to go for a short-term deal that bridges him to unrestricted free agency at age 27 — when the cap will be even higher — if he wants.
