Career

Before playing in the NHL, Dobson played three seasons with the Acadie–Bathurst Titan and one season with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He had a successful time with his teams. He won the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the QMJHL's most valuable player and was named to back-to-back First All-Star Teams. He helped the Titan during the playoffs. They defeated the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, Sherbrooke Phoenix, and Victoriaville Tigres before defeating the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada four games to two to win the President's Cup. This earned them a spot in the Memorial Cup tournament. The Titan defeated the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League (WHL) 3-0 in the final game to win the Memorial Cup. He was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team. After being traded to the Huskies, he helped them win the President's Cup and reach the Memorial Cup tournament where they defeated the Halifax Mooseheads 4-2 and win the Huskies first Cup and Dobson's second straight Memorial Cup. He was named to his second Memorial Cup All-Star Team.

He was drafted 12th overall by the New York Islanders of the 2018 NHL entry draft. On August 13, 2018, Dobson signed a three-year entry-level contract to join the Islanders.

On October 8, 2019, Dobson made his NHL debut in a 5–2 loss against the Edmonton Oilers. During the third period, he recorded his first NHL point after assisting on a Matt Martin goal. On January 14, 2020, Dobson scored his first NHL goal against Jimmy Howard in a 8–2 win against the Detroit Red Wings. On August 22, 2022, Dobson signed a three-year, $12 million contract to stay with the Islanders.

On June 27, 2025, the Islanders traded Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Emil Heineman and two 2025 first-round draft picks. That same day, Dobson signed an eight-year, $9.5 million contract to stay with the Canadiens.
