The Montreal Canadian can congratulate himself on having been the favorite destination of Noah Dobson, since the Blue Jackets of Columbus would have filed an even more interesting offer.
The two teams of the Eastern Association, where the New York Icelanders defender wanted to remain, were the finalists to acquire. It was the CH that had the last word, having to give in its two first -round choices (16e et 17e) to the draft and striker Emil Heineman.

On the side of the Jackets, it is an even better return that would have been proposed. According to the journalist of Sportsnet Ellipotte Friedman, the left winger giant format Dmitry Voronkov was part of the offer.
Without removing anything from Heineman, the Russian could have immediately helped Icelanders. The 24 -year -old raised 47 points in 73 games last season, his second in the National League.
Like Dobson, Voronkov was also becoming an autonomous player with compensation on 1is July.
Besides, Columbus would have been ready to give Dobson more money. Signing an eight -year contract extension was one of the latter’s criteria to start from New York.
The 25-year-old rear will receive a salary of $ 9.5 million a year until 2032-2033 with the Canadian.
