Dobson is my boy I'm ready for fulltime ND lol

Looking at the Toews trade I think the staff feels he has a shot. Wouldn’t doubt he’s on a strict strength training regiment from the staff to bulk up a bit in the off season.
Kids gonna be a stud once he does. The talent is there 100%.

I think you’re a bit high for Toews at 5 million. Not conservative at all imho.
I think Pulock will wind up getting that.
I thought Toews was good and did make some mistakes and if any of our dman had to go I can live with Toews being the odd man out. Dobson is ready and Green will be an affordable signing and played well for us last year.

Yeah I can’t really disagree with this at all. I’ve seen much worse defensemen get big contracts so that’s what I was basing 5/25 off of.

Plus, haven’t seen one poster say “hurr durr, Toews sucks!!11!”

So to think anyone is cheering right now is a (frank)ing stupid train of thought.

Hell I wasn’t the hugest deHaan fan and it kinda sucked to see him go. It is what it is. It’s called reality.

@AGrossNewsday
Lou Lamoriello says he was surprised Josh Ho-Sang filed for arbitration.
Says there's a good chance team could re-sign Andy Greene.

I think you misinterpreted this ses. I think Lou was surprised he was still playing in the organization.

Doesn’t Schmidt make a decent salary himself? Not as much as Boychuk

What are some RFA Toews type comparables? I hate him gone but I get that Ladd, Leddy, Komarov, and JB contracts are not helping the situation.

He has his moments for sure but this gives Dobson a clear path to being the horse he is expected to be. Gotta resign Pelech in another year and already have to pay Pulock before next season. Trotz loves Leddy so he wasn’t going anywhere and Boychuk is basically Unmovable. Something has to give and honestly he isn’t very good in his own end while I liked him this won’t hurt the isles as much as some would like to think imo

3rd pairing at best, very serviceable tho but def not 2nd pairing, so on that, Im gonna assume you may not watch much isles games to make that statement

He has the poise and the brains but the strength was an issue but if he's training like he should be i have a lot of faith in him. Even played the opposite side well

I would say he is top 4 for sure when talking about O but playing actual D he is a 5-6. So in my book more like a 4/5 guy on a good team.

Played the opposite side in Jr so he’s one of those guys that have that ability.
