I think it’s too soon, but ASU isn’t going to be very good next season. And him transferring or ing to the CHL is a pretty bad look. So Tucson makes sense. I think he will be there a while. I sure hope they sort out whatever is amiss with development down there. I do NOT trust that coaching staff.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Fascinating. I don’t think he’s ready, but I hope they take it slow and that the roadrunners get a bit better at developing

 

[More Cooley]

Cool

Could he have just like, signed with Kamloops if he wanted to? For their Championship/MemCup run? I doubt a WHL team owns his rights. Would’ve been unbelievably cool for him to just show up in Kamloops ready to rock.

 

[lanky]

Or with fellow Arizona native and Coyote offspring Ty Nash in Winnipeg. But that wouldn't be a guaranteed ticket in the Memorial Cup, like Kamloops has for being the host.

Anyways, I'm glad he's turning pro. I think he's ready for AHL.

 

[RemoAZ]

Probably just sick of going to class.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

That's good for the team and Josh. ASU really needs to begin recruiting better talent.

 

[Imaravencawcaw]

Getting paid to play against men in Tucson is surely better than playing for free at ASU on a mediocre team next year. This is fine.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I just hope he’s ready for Tucson and will actually get a role there. I don’t wanna see him in the ECHL while Cameron Hebig and Reece Vitelli get all the minutes

 

[Bonsai Tree]

ASU's trajectory and Josh Doan's trajectory diverged. I don't want to see him in Tempe next year. Too soon.

I’m a little surprised he wants to leave. He really could benefit from another year at ASU.

But the Devils are not looking good for next season. Instead of being molly whopped every game with no pay, he could collect some sort of paycheck in the AHL. Tucson could look better next year, especially if the FO thinks Guenther and Cooley should play there instead.

I get it. I’d do the same too. Just a little surprised at the announcement haha.

 

[PainForShane]

I'm sure his Dad is giving him advice too so imo this decision is unlikely to be a disaster. Good for him as long as he keeps growing / developing wherever that may be

 

[Schemp]

Burn a year off his ELC while getting a few more games in this season. Tucson could really use him too. Need a couple more college signings too.

But the Coyotes need to do something with Tucson. We should be talking about sending down Maccelli and McBain for the Calder, and instead, it's about not having a full roster?

remember when Maloney wanted that extra year of development from Wheeler? With NCAA guys better too soon than too late.

This is too soon. Should have stayed another year and gone pro with Lipkin next spring/summer.

This is gonna sound stupid, but as a parent, this disappoints me. Why not stay and finish your college education? I thought the Doans were smarter than that. Josh is clearly not NHL-ready, and arguably not even AHL-ready. ASU being a weak team would matter more to me if I were angling to look better in the Draft.

It's his choice, of course, and I hope it works out for him.

He can take online courses if it’s that important.

You can always go back to school, but playing professional sports has a much shorter window of opportunity. It's not like he's giving up a Harvard education for a slim chance at the NHL.

 

[Schemp]

I hypothesize that JD knew what kind of team the Devils were before the season started, not making the regionals, and focused mainly at getting ready to turn pro. If true, he'll report in at least 10 lbs heavier.

Still wish he would’ve gone to Kamloops if that’s even legal.

Reports directly to Tucson. Expected to be in lineup Friday.

 

[0point1]

Road trip this Friday to Tucson sounds tempting.

I think you need more practice at saying stupid things. Based on this post alone I'd say you suck at saying stupid things.

If you really are interested in saying stupid things, let me know, I'm sure I can help.....or just head over to the BOH forum.
