The New York Islanders have signed defenseman Noah Dobson to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Monday.
Dobson was drafted 12th overall this past June, a pick that looks to have been among the draft's biggest steals, as he entered ranking fifth among all North American skaters and third among North American defensemen.
The 18-year-old had a monstrous year after putting up 17 goals and 69 points in 67 games for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the QMJHL, while also contributing 13 playoff points en route to his team capturing the Memorial Cup.
