MONTREAL — The trade bringing Noah Dobson to Montreal signifies more than just the arrival of the team`s new highest-paid player.
It`s about the potential this move unlocks.
Before diving into those possibilities, Noah Dobson`s reported decision to sign an eight-year, $76-million deal with the Canadiens is noteworthy itself. The 25-year-old, 6`4″ right-shot defenseman apparently pushed for a move from Long Island to Montreal, driven by his belief in the Canadiens` future winning potential during the contract`s term.
This factor is just as important as any other aspect of the trade.
