Rookie camp begins next week, expect NHL camp to begin 9/18 with first preseason game three days later on 9/21. Sorry, but I think Darche rushed trading Dobson. He had a year, and could have gotten a better offer then a player who will now be on his 4th NHL team. This was a weak draft class, not the kind you take two picks. Columbus/Habs refused to include their top prospect which is what Lamoriello wanted for Nelson. Dobson had to play this season, he had to sign a team-friendly deal, Darche had the leverage, and Dobson would have brought equal or better offers next March at the trade deadline.
