Dobes Gets Paid: Canadiens Lock in Young Goalie Long-Term

Montreal's betting big on Jakub Dobes' future by inking him to a three-year extension that signals the Canadiens believe they've found their next franchise netminder. The deal comes at a critical moment for a team trying to rebuild around young talent, and Dobes' willingness to commit long-term suggests both sides see something special developing in net. This is the kind of move that either looks brilliant in three years or becomes a cautionary tale about moving too fast on young goalies.
