Noah Dobson is a member of the Montreal Canadiens. It took until 9:20 p.m. for the transaction, which was announced earlier this afternoon, to be officially ratified, but it’s finally done. The club also made official the eight-year deal signed by Dobson.

The Montreal Canadiens are acquiring defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders and signing him to an eight-year contract worth $9.5 million annually.

The Islanders have traded defenseman Noah Dobson to the Canadiens for a return that includes a pair of first-round picks -- a potential huge impact on the NHL draft.
