In a significant pre-draft move, the Montreal Canadiens traded both their first-round picks and Emil Heineman to acquire defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders. Dobson is set to sign an eight-year deal worth $76 million, positioning him as the fifth-highest-paid defenseman in the NHL. Following a standout season, where he recorded 70 points and 60 assists, Dobson is expected to strengthen the Canadiens' defense. Meanwhile, the Islanders are poised to rebuild, holding three Top 20 draft selections, including the first overall pick to likely select top prospect Matthew Schaefer.
"The Habs acquired star defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders in exchange for both of Montreal's first-round picks this year and left winger Emil Heineman."
"Dobson will reportedly sign an eight-year, $76 million contract with Montreal as part of the massive blockbuster deal."
