The Montreal Canadiens surprised the hockey world by making the playoffs this year—and they look poised to keep the fun going.
The Canadiens are acquiring defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islander in exchange for two first-round draft picks and left wing Emil Heineman, according to a Friday afternoon report from Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet later elaborated upon by colleague Frank Seravalli. Dobson, 25, is now reportedly in line to sign an eight-year extension with Montreal worth $76 million.
