MONTREAL — What, you thought two weeks with out Islanders hockey meant we’d take a break right here?
No relaxation for the e-newsletter, however we’re going to take the prospect to zoom out a bit and riff on a handful of subjects. Let’s begin by correcting some social media narratives.
Noah Dobson’s agent swap
The dialog surrounding Noah Dobson jogs my memory of Nazem Kadri a pair summers in the past.
This occurs typically with the Islanders, the place the crew retains such a decent lid on data that it’s straightforward for a rumor from a fan account to turn out to be accepted as reality on social media. In summer season 2022, I keep in mind occurring a present and being requested what I considered the Kadri deal, the implication being that the Islanders already had signed him.
