Canadiens Monitoring Noah Dobson as Trade Talks Heat Up
We have new developments in the trade situation involving Patrick Roy's star defenseman, Noah Dobson, and it involves the Montreal Canadiens. This comes from the excellent Marco D'Amico, and it's a major piece of information.
We've talked about this over the past few days, but it seems to be getting serious.
The Canadiens are officially monitoring Noah Dobson on the trade market.
There appears to be real interest and a genuine possibility that the Canadiens will enter the process for such an acquisition.

So, we are far from done hearing about this.
This continues to support what Elliotte Friedman recently reported.
The Canadiens are working to acquire assets that will help improve the team for the future, of course, but also to strengthen the club right now.
Noah Dobson fits both of those criteria.
Let's also remember that the price for a player like Dobson has already been outlined.
It seems clear that Lou Lamoriello wants a natural goal scorer, a player who can put up goals in large numbers, in exchange for his defenseman Dobson.
The two players in Montreal who fit that goal-scorer profile are Cole Caufield and Patrik Laine.
Knowing all of this, would you trade Cole Caufield for Noah Dobson?
Dobson, 25, is a 6-foot-4, 200-pound right-handed defenseman with 24 points this season after recording 70 points in 79 games last season.
