Doans Dad was good?

If he had a different last name, he might be discussed differently

Maybe but idc much about his dad, I care about his maturity and the fact his underlying metrics suggest there's more there. While Peterka was out here shooting at a % that's all but guaranteed to be unsustainable, Doan was quite unlucky in the same regard. That's not saying Doan will match Peterka but if jjp is actually a 25g scorer and Doan is actually a 15g scorer, we might be okay. 

All that said, Adams hope strategy is terrible and this is an 85pt team.

I just said the same thing in another thread so we’re thinking alike.‘I said I think this team is slightly better overall and ends up in the mid to high 80s in points. Jaro takes over as GM and chooses his own coach

I know it probably goes without saying but the new coach also brings in a whole new staff. This alone, imo, could make the difference of playoffs or no playoffs with the current 80-90 point roster.

Injuries could sink this team in the fall, because it is built for everyone to play near their ceilings to get ahead. A competent NHL coaching staff could add some points in the standings by having better structure, more accountability and great mentoring.

If Dahlin gets hurt and is out for a significant amount of time, this team is sunk.

Not like the team was ever floating to begin with.

When you are treading water and someone throws an anchor at you, you are going to sink at a faster rate.
