The Montreal Canadiens acquired Noah Dobson in a trade with the New York Islanders and agreed to sign the top-pair defenseman to an eight-year, $76 million contract extension, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.

Per reports, the Islanders will receive forward Emil Heineman and both of Montreal’s first-round picks (Nos. 16 and 17) in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Dobson, 25, was a pending restricted free agent after wrapping up a three-year, $12 million contract last season.

He recorded 39 points (10 goals, 29 assists) and averaged 23:16 of ice time in 71 games last season.

Dobson has totaled 230 points (50 goals, 180 assists) in 388 career games since being selected by the Islanders with the 12th overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft.

Heineman, 23, had 18 points (10 goals, eight assists) in 62 games with the Canadiens last season. He was held without a point in four contests during the 2023-24 season.
