The Islanders have one of their top draft picks under contract.
Noah Dobson signed a three-year entry level deal with the Islanders, the team announced Monday. The 18-year-old was selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft in June.
Dobson comes to the Islanders after a successful stint in the junior ranks. The defenseman won the Memorial Cup with the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, scoring 69 points including 17 goals during his second season with the team. He added another 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) over 20 playoff games and was named to All-Star teams for the QMJHL and CHL Memorial Cup.
