People are going to scream nepotism because he's Shane's son, but Josh is a good player. I watched a lot of Doan the last two seasons. More than almost any player in this draft. I thought he probably should've been drafted last year because him becoming a second round pick this season after repeating his good end to last season was so predictable. I know drafting overagers high isn't favorable with fans, but I wouldn't worry about that. Josh is a good player that would be projecting well if he was drafted in 2020.
I think he's likely to be a good bottom 6 player. The type of player that is a main complimentary grinder. He won't be one of the leading players on the team, so the Coyotes will have to find those players elsewhere in their rebuild, but Doan is exactly the type of player you draft so you don't have to trade a first rounder for this type of player later on or give a terrible contract to.
He's a winger with good size. He's an unbelievably hard worker, and he skates well. He's going to be a very good defensive forward. Probably a main PK'er. He does have some skill though. I think he could be the type of player that is capable of moving up the lineup to chip in 25-35 points in his prime, although I think on a Championship team he likely plays in the bottom six.

In a pure vacuum this is a little high for him. Love the pick though. Huge perk that he’ll be nearby at ASU.

The son of former NHLer Shane Doan, Josh Doan went undrafted in the 2020 NHL Draft. He struggled in his first season with the Chicago Steel playing in the bottom-six of a stacked team in 2019-20. Doan scored just five goals and nine assists for 14 points in 45 games. The Steel would finish first in the USHL, but the COVID pandemic cancelled the playoffs.
This season, the Steel were again a strong team. However, with some graduations amongst the 2019-20 forward group, Josh Doan was given a much bigger role. He thrived with the added minutes and responsibility. Doan scored 31 goals and 39 assists for 70 points in 53 games. The Steel didn’t miss a beat, again finishing with the best record in the USHL. This time though, they would get to chase the Clark Cup in the USHL Playoffs. Doan and the Steel did not disappoint. He picked up two goals and three assists for five points in eight playoff games as the Steel took home the Cup. Doan will be staying close to home next year. He is committed to playing Division One hockey for the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Feels like we got a garunteed NHL'r here, on top of being a very classy move. Play reads like a poor man's Killorn but has room to grow and we will obviously be able to monitor his development. I'm sure Shane will be at many ASU games.

That would be a heck of a story... Doan wanted to win a cup here and never left. Stays around and his son gets one with the team and accomplishs the goal.
That would be a dream haha.

I’d love to ignore your posts but when you start threads it causes issues. Just like rt couldn’t find this thread originally.

The prospect stuff is fine. It’s an amalgamation of other content and then sort of a meta-analysis on that content. Just like The Hockey Writers and the like. It’s all good content to read through quickly. Handy link to stats and other articles and some highlight videos. Just like THWs and others. My favorite is probably the guy who does it for the Devils. The All About the Jersey blog. Really like his format and voice.

Doan just confirmed that they didn't show him the list with Josh on it until last night. He said Josh was right around where they took him. So I guess they must have had him late 20s early 30s. His list prior was Joshless. They kept him out of Josh all discussion.
