The TVA Sports network has just reported a juicy statement from Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki.
When asked about his reaction when he learned about the Canadiens' acquisition of Noah Dobson, Suzuki said this:
"Me and Cole were sitting on a bus leaving Eddy's wedding when a bunch of tweets started coming out that we were going to trade for Dobson. So me and Cole were kind of freaking out on the bus home," Suzuki said Thursday.
"I actually texted Dobber to see if there was any truth to this. It hadn't been done yet, but he seemed like he was hoping it could possibly be the case.
It was pretty cool. It's nice to have that addition, he's an amazing player and a good guy too."

Wow! Here's yet another sign that Dobson really wanted to be traded to the Montreal Canadiens, and another sign that the team's players absolutely loved this acquisition.
Imagine, Caufield and Suzuki found out about the trade on X, while returning from Joel Edmundson's wedding in Scotland. Wow.
The Canadiens' trade for Noah Dobson was a real hit in the locker room
We can't wait to see the results on the ice in just a few weeks.
Of course, let's recall that Noah Dobson was acquired by the Montreal Canadiens on June 27 from the New York Islanders, in exchange for two first-round picks and forward Emil Heineman.
Over the last two seasons, Dobson has collected 39 points in 71 games as well as 70 points in 79 games.
Since entering the NHL, he has tallied 230 points in 388 games.
It will be interesting to see which Canadiens defenseman he'll be paired with, but most observers believe it will be the young veteran Kaiden Guhle.
The two could complement each other very well on the ice.
