I also like this trade for Buffalo. They're getting a top 4 rhd, could play top pair with Dahlin next year, at worst he's with Owen Power. Chance for chemistry.

But the Doan kid is the one who I think they were targeting in this. Yeah, he's barely an NHLer. But if (and it's a fairly big IF) he has the determination to play for whatever club has him, and he shows the same drive that his dad did...

They want an Adam Lowry of their own. Someone who plays right, doesn't shirk the details. And can, maybe, eventually, maybe even lead that squalid squad. And for what it's worth, I don't think that's a bad strategy.
