Lou Lamoriello had a pretty solid first draft, at least on paper, with the New York Islanders. He found Oliver Wahlstrom, Noah Dobson and Bode Wilde with his first three picks in this past draft. Today, we’ll focus on the 19-year-old defenseman from Summerside.
Dobson got off to a bit of a slow start with the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in the QMJHL this year. On one of the worst team’s in the league, he had 16 points (9 goals, 7 assists) in 28 games. Not awful but well off his pace from the previous year.
After the trade to Rouyn-Noranda, Dobson has been phenomenal.
