Doan > Peterka?

Peterka has 9 pts in 10 game, a 72 pt pace.  All his points are at EV.

Doan has 3 EV pts in 9 game.  His other 3 pts are on the PP.  He is on about 49 pts pace.  

Doan adds a compete motor we need in the bottom 6,  but he doesn’t drive offense like JJP.  

Frankly I wish we had found another way to acquire Doan, but he is not a better hockey player than JJP.

 

This, it was a good hockey trade for both teams but Doan is not better than JJP at least skill wise but he does bring things that JJP will never have.

And there’s always this quick rush to declare a winner. Your typical trade usually involves one team making a move for today and the other making a move for tomorrow. The 24/7 news cycle mentality of judging it right now is always going to lead to the same conclusion.  

"Win the trade" is a pointless argument that often changes over time.  

Two teams trade sometimes for entirely different reasons.

Doan is not better than Peterka.  It is not even close. But he is a high motor player that we need. If Kesslering is a solid top 4 the trade might be even.

So far it’s looking like your spot on. Here’s to hoping he continues his play and although it was only 1 game so far, I’m liking #8 as well.

This is a trade that both teams are happy with.

For Utah they get a young, talented offensive winger to help boost their offence.

For Buffalo this is a culture trade. Doan and Kesselring bring size and skill but with the leadership traits that this team desperately needs.

Im sure both fan bases will be happy with this trade in the long run.

Minor nitpicking, but you can't patent math. I'm going to assume we're talking about some kind of novel mathematical method as a tool.

JJ Peterka: 6g, 7a, 13pts, +1 in 19games

Josh Doan: 5g, 7a, 12pts, -4 in 19games

If they can start getting some return there, the deal really looks that much better.

Keep Doan-TNT-Tuch together for a few games, even if Norris returns to the lineup. With the way Thompson is playing the last 5 periods of hockey, you'll get some point production out of Doan.

Sounds like Norris is slated for 2nd line C duty as long as Thompson continues his play. I would put Benson with Norris but might put Zucker with TNT and move Doan to that Norris line as well. 

Zucker - Tage - Tuch

Benson - Norris - Doan

I'll still take Doan in the deal for his tenacity.  The slight drop in offense (to date) is worth the increase in tenacity. It's an example for the rest of the team.

Does that even qualify as slight, one single goal?
