Noah Dobson Brings All the Plus with Little of the Minus to the New York Islanders Blue Line

Noah Dobson has quietly become the player the New York Islanders hoped he would one day be. Dobson doesn’t have a flamboyant personality or a big voice. He lets his on-ice performance do the talking. His breakout season last year proved, once and for all, that he was for real.

After two solid seasons, Dobson took his game to another level. His 70 points in 78 games showed that his solid defensive skills came with the strong offensive upside becoming of a top-level, first-pairing defenseman.

Indeed, there is no question that the plus column is far greater than the minus one for Noah Dobson. So, let’s take a closer look at why the plus side makes him the cornerstone of the New York Islanders' future success.
