Market Testing for Dobson
“The Islanders are actively testing the market for Dobson, who is a restricted free agent.” – Elliotte Friedman
According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, speaking on his 32 Thoughts podcast, Dobson is being evaluated for trade possibilities. The 25-year-old from Summerside had an impressive season in 2024, scoring 10 goals and providing 60 assists for a career-high total of 70 points. However, his latest performance saw a noticeable decline, resulting in just 39 points—his lowest output in four years.
