Islanders trade Noah Dobson to Canadiens in pre-draft shakeup with new roster taking shape
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — For the better part of a year, the Noah Dobson contract has hung over the Islanders as a problem that must be solved.
It turned out, the solution was to get rid of Noah Dobson.
Dobson was traded ahead of Friday’s first round of the draft to Montreal for a package including the 16th and 17th picks along with Swedish fourth-liner Emil Heineman, The Post confirmed.
Columbus was also heavily involved in discussions but the Islanders chose the package from the Canadiens over that from the Blue Jackets.
As part of the deal, Dobson reportedly signed an eight-year extension with Montreal at $9.5 million annually.
“Listen, we tried to sign Noah, and we couldn’t agree on a contract,” general manager Mathieu Darche said on a Zoom call. “It happens in sports. The whole negotiation was very amicable.”
