Buffalo Sabres forward Josh Doan is already starting to emerge as one of the 2025 NHL offseason's one underrated acquisitions.
The Buffalo Sabres' inability to create a competent power play has been one of the most vital factors in the team's regression over the past two seasons. Josh Doan is showing he can provide a net-front presence that's been sorely lacking in recent years.
Doan, who was acquired alongside defenseman Michael Kesselring in a blockbuster offseason trade that sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth, tallied a goal and an assist with the man advantage in Thursday night's 5-2 preseason loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
