Buffalo Sabres winger Josh Doan didn't generate much league-wide buzz when he arrived to Western New York alongside defenseman Michael Kesselring in the blockbuster trade that sent forward JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in June. That's starting to change.
Doan has a strong argument as the Sabres' best player through 32 games. He's recorded 23 points (10 goals and 13 assists) while bringing an aggressiveness and compete level the Blue and Gold have frequently lacked in recent years.
Adam Vingan of Sportsnet pinpointed the 23-year-old Arizona native as one of the reasons Buffalo still has hope of breaking its 14-year playoff drought this season.
