Reports: Montreal Canadiens Acquire Defenceman Noah Dobson From New York Islanders

  • At the 2025 NHL Draft in Los Angeles, the Montreal Canadiens finalized a sign-and-trade transaction to bring restricted free agent defenseman Noah Dobson over from the New York Islanders.
  • The trade followed stalled contract extension talks between Dobson and the Islanders, who embraced rebuilding and obtained Emil Heineman plus Montreal’s 16th and 17th overall draft picks.
  • Dobson, a 25-year-old right-shot defenseman from Summerside, P.E.I., set a personal best by recording 70 points over 79 games in the 2023-24 season and addresses a crucial vacancy left by David Savard’s retirement.
  • Elliotte Friedman reported that Dobson agreed to an eight-year deal valued at $76 million, averaging $9.5 million per year, while Emil Heineman and two first-round draft picks were traded to the Islanders.
  • The trade signals Montreal’s surge from rebuilding toward playoff contention, while the Islanders gain draft capital to select prospects like Matthew Schaefer, impacting both teams’ futures significantly.
