We have a new development in the Noah Dobson sweepstakes. Two sources have just released fresh information regarding what the Canadiens would trade to acquire Noah Dobson.

According to Jimmy Murphy, it would be three pieces from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Noah Dobson

Here’s what the excellent Jimmy Murphy just posted.

Please note that he later edited his post to remove Logan Mailloux’s name, but according to his information, the Montreal Canadiens would trade their two first-round picks (16th and 17th overall) plus a high-end prospect – rumored to be Logan Mailloux.. in exchange for defenseman Noah Dobson!

Let’s keep this in the “rumor” category for now, but it’s getting very serious and very real.

Respected insider Frank Seravalli also confirms that picks and prospects are in play for Noah Dobson

Here’s what he just shared:

Sources indicate Isles have shifted approach in Noah Dobson talks from roster players to futures and Round 1 picks tonight.

Belief is NYI seeking to package return to reach up and grab Long Island native James Hagens.

Lot of work ahead for Darche to make Schaegens a reality.

– Frank Seravalli

This is a situation we’re continuing to watch closely, but it really feels like we’re getting close to the finish line on a trade involving right-shot defenseman Noah Dobson.

At this point, I’d even go as far as to say I’d be surprised if the Canadiens actually use their first-round picks tonight.

More details to follow.
