This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.

Okay.

Welcome to the program.

Noah Dobson, the Frenchman for New York Islanders.

Now, a couple of things to get out of the way here quickly.

Noah Dobson is not Quinn Hughes he's not no a Dobson is not

Kale Macar he's not but noadobson should he continue to play like this, is someone we should probably start

talking about in and around the Norris Trophy.

Now I know there's a couple of things, and we'll get into this a little bit later on when we talk

to Thomas

Hickey coming up in hour two. There's a couple of things here with Noah Dobson. As long as Adam

Pelic is out, No Adopson is getting top assignment and has looked good. The problem is when Pelic comes back and

if the option is not playing on that top pair, he doesn't play on the top pair. He gets secondary

match-ups. And if you're going to win the Norris Trophy, you better get primary

matchups. That's not there so far yet for no adoption on a consistent basis, but the way he's played so

far folks, start talking about Noah Dobson

start talking more about that blue liner and the New York Islanders and we'll do

that coming up an hour too. So here's the show today Brian Boyle is going to kick it off here in a couple of moments.

NHL analyst, former NHLer, works for the NHL network.

Elliot's pushed to hour two. He's at the Blue Jackets Maple Leaf skate this morning. It's Adam

Fantilly's first game in Toronto in the NHL so we'll talk plenty about

Columbus and we'll talk plenty about Adam Fantilly.
