  1. Wow. Surprised Islanders didn’t retain him at 9.5. Does anyone have insight into this – did he want to move?

  2. Man, really nice team the Habs are building. Think they’re going to be strong contenders much sooner than anyone was thinking before the start of last season.

    Dobson, Hutson, Guhle, Matheson is a great top 4.

  3. Habs have an embarrassment of riches. It’s not a case of *if* they become a wagon, but when.

  4. And Montreal didn’t even have to give up mailloux either. They’re building a contender over there

  5. Montreal might return to the cup finals before the Leafs. Their team keeps looking better and better. Dobson is a hell of steady player, solid work. Surprised Islanders would part with him but damn- two more first round picks! They’ve got to pick Schaefer now surely. And there should be some additional good prospects available to them in the mid-round too.

  6. 1st round draft picks in the mid-teens to early 20s have like a 10% chance of becoming NHL all-stars. Seems like a worthwhile “gamble” by the Habs. But it sure makes watching the draft much less interesting for Montreal fans tonight.

  7. Montreal is one of the best managed teams in the league at the moment.

    Their contracts so far are so good. I would be surprised if they don’t become contenders in the next 2-4 years.

  8. Dobson is a very nice player and really flies under the radar.

    Sneaky grab
