ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dobson looked like a prime breakout candidate in his age-23 season in 2022-23, his fourth in the NHL, but it never really materialized. In fact, his final numbers (13 goals, 49 points, 206 shots on goal, 19 power-play points) were eerily similar to his statistics from the year prior (13 goals, 51 points, 190 shots on goal, 22 power-play points). Part of that was due to the fact the Islanders were truly awful with the man advantage, converting at a 15.8 percent clip, 30th in the league ahead of only Anaheim and Philadelphia. The optimistic point of view is Dobson was still able to put up solid offensive numbers despite his team's power-play struggles, so perhaps he could take another step forward if that unit improves in 2023-24. Either way, consider him a solid mid-round fantasy target on draft day.
