Jakub Dobes rates as a solid middle-of-the-lineup goaltender: a 63.8 overall that ranks 54th of 104 goaltenders.

He has allowed 0.6 more goals than expected given shot quality, which is what holds the rating back.

His rating fell from 81.4 in 2025-26 to 13.5 in 2026-27, one of the bigger drops in his 3-season card history.

The contract, $965K through 2026-27, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $1.1M is within $135K of what he is paid.

An extension worth $5.36M a year for 3 seasons (2027-28 to 2029-30) kicks in after that, which the model grades Overpaid.

His cap hit is the 17th-largest on the Montréal Canadiens NHL roster and uses 0.9% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $1.5M in cap space.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
