Good morning team! How is everyone doing today? Gil, thanks again for what you do, keeping hockey going all year long. As for Dobson, it's no secret he's a favorite of mine. For me, he doesn't need to be among the league's top D-men. He just needs to do the job, in Roy's scheme, to help the team win as many games as they possibly can. As for D-men around the league, I don't rank him too high, but again, he doesn't need to be. There are areas of his game that need to get better before he is among the top D-men of the league. He's close. Everyone, have a great rest of the day and wonderful weekend! See you all on the next one. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
Fair assessment Tony. I also enjoy watching Dobber do his thing and get frustrated sometimes when he struggles in his own zone. Big fan of his also. Thanks for the comment and LGI.
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? The Islanders Noah Dobson is on the list of the top 25 defenseman in the NHL. Dobson is ranked 15th, which is good, still in the top 20. There's more to it than putting the puck in the net. Lou Lamoriello's past is coming back to bite him like I knew he would. If he has another good season like he did, he'll move up on the list. The Islanders will be national TV 10×, and they'll have a chance to sign. They won't be playing The Rangers. I remember the first time they played on national 📺. It was back in 1975, when they made The NHL stand up and take notice they were playing The Flames when they were based in The ATL. I hope Matt Martin does come back. I understand that the emphasis is youth and speed, but there's also experience to consider, too. HAPPY 🎂 RADICK MARTINIQUE. He was reliable, and dependable. Hear from you later, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
It's so hard with Matt Martin. Great guy, great Islander but it is time to move on? He will always be part of the team's history and culture and it wouldnt' surprise me if he works for the team in some capacity. Wow, great memory on the first nationally televised game. 1975 vs Flames on NBC. Have a great weekend, Cindy and LGI.
Dobson is a decent enough defenseman when he doesn't have the puck. it's when he gets the puck in the D zone that he drives you crazy. And yes, would have been so good to still have Toews. I go to Quinnipiac games frequently, so I get reminded of him regularly.
I would have put dobson 15-17 I don't need Dobson to be a physical defenseman in the mold of Victor Heman but where I need for him to improve is consistently making clearing pass and outlet pass If he can do that I would put him at 10
Noah is growing into a dominant Defenseman. He is just filling out as a young adult. Tremendous player and person. He will win multiple Norris Trophies. I’m sure his extension will be announced before Camp. He will sign 9.5 x 8 and that’s going to look as a bargain.
$9.5 seems a little high to me, but not much. I was thinking more of $8 or $8.5. Either way, looking forward to seeing what Dobson develops into. The potential is definitely there. Thanks for the comment, Charlie and LGI.
I think Dobson's ranking is fair. He tailed off a lot in the last 1/3 of the season offensively, and that's why he's not higher. There are a couple of guys between 16-20 that I think may be slightly better all around than Dobson, so I'm happy where he's ranked.
Top 20 ? Top 25 yes. Good offensive d man that is shaky in d end and isn't physical enough for a guy his size. 8 needs to be more complete to be a top 10-15 d man. Kind of like 13-best on isles, not elite enough for top 20 in nhl. One article says 8 could be traded. One scenario-to oil with first varly for leon or to laffs in marner deal. Louzer can't even re-sign 8 until 27 or 44 go bye bye or till next off season when 21, 29 (maybe) come off the books. 8 could then be an offer sheet target big time if louzer's limited cap space remains after season.

@@LockedOnIslanders You too, Gil. Hear from you on Monday.
Dobber is still a young developing super star. The ranking is very fair and lets hope he keeps going up from there. LGI
He has the potential to take things to the next level. I hope he does. Thanks for the comments, Darrell. LGI.

Spot on RayChaound. The Toews loss hurts. Thanks for the comment. LGI.
I would have put dobson 15-17

The outlet pass is something Dobson and the entire team need to improve. Thanks for the comment, salexyaybar. LGI.

Fair assessment, Another_User_Name_. I would have had him a smidge higher but not much. Thanks for the comment, LGI.

Lou better free up some cap space if he intends to keep Dobson. We'll see if he does. Thanks for the comment, Steven.
U give Matt Martin a call if the isles r hit by the injury bug. Otherwise, it’s time to move on from Martin.
Agreed, kidnamedbarzalislanders2498. LGI.
