The Canadiens acquired the 25-year-old defenceman from the New York Islanders on June 27 for forward Emil Heineman and two first-round draft picks – Nos. 16 and 17. The Canadiens signed Dobson, a restricted free agent, to an eight-year contract with an annual average value of $9.5 million.

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.
