Noah Dobson, the New York Islanders' No. 1 defenseman, is reportedly on the NHL trade block, sparking interest from the San Jose Sharks. Despite a disappointing current season with just 24 points, Dobson previously recorded a career-high 70 points. The 25-year-old blueliner will soon be a restricted free agent, heightening trade speculation. His recent switch in agents may indicate dissatisfaction concerning negotiations. The Sharks, possessing a strong prospect pool, especially lack high-caliber defensemen, making Dobson an attractive trade target as they seek to enhance their lineup.
"He is available for trade". Sources indicate that #NYI defenseman Noah Dobson is indeed available for the right price on the NHL trade market, while Lou Lamoriello seems keen to retain Brock Nelson.
Switching agents may not seem like a big deal, but often, the reasoning for the switch is not getting a trade or contract done the way the player wants.
According to The Athletic, the San Jose Sharks prospect pool is the best in the NHL, but it lacks top-tier defensemen.
Adding a 25-year-old, right-shot defenseman who has proven he can score in the league rarely becomes available via trade.
