Ben, it looks like your poll distracted everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by Dobson's maturity in jumping from juniors directly to the NHL. He never panicked with the puck, even if he did sometimes get bumped off it by the bigger, stronger NHL players. As you suggested, he should be very good once he fills out his frame and gets some more NHL experience.

Looks like it!

Agreed, I think it's usually a lot harder for defensemen to make the jump so early and for Dobson to have transitioned fairly well already is a good sign.

As always, thanks for reading!
