[Buffalo Sabres] When asked about the atmosphere at the Key Bank Center last night, Josh Doan said, “It was sick. You can feel the energy off every play. We were told coming here that, when you’re winning, it’s the best place to play, and you’re starting to feel that.”

Doan has been such a brilliant pick up. Between his effort on the ice and his comments about wanting to be the solution and stay in Buffalo & the energy in the building… what an absolute breath of fresh air!!
At the trade I straight up did not think Doan was capable of this. With the great underlyings and his age, I expected a guy like McLeod as his ceiling, and more likely a bottom six energy guy/pk guy who would put in 25-30 points without PP time. Turns out he’s the best forechecker/backchecker (with scoring talent) I’ve seen on the Sabres since… mike peca?
Month or two ago I guessed a 55-60 point season as he looked awesome. Now I think he has 65 in him in future seasons. He’s still young enough.
I legit thought he was the throw-in and that Kesselring was the prize. Kess has been hurt too much to really tell, but Doan is a diamond already.
