The Montreal Canadiens are reportedly bringing in one of the NHL's most productive right-shot defensemen ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Montreal is on the rise, with their first stop in the playoffs since 2021. And Dobson will anchor the blue line with Hutson for years, which is a formidable pairing. That said, giving up two first-rounders and a former second-round forward is A LOT, plus the giant extension.

The Montreal Canadiens acquired offensive defenceman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders in return, the the Islanders reportedly receive forward Emil Heineman and the 16th and 17th overall picks in Friday night's NHL draft.
