I have no problem with Beagle as the #3C to start the year. Especially if MP85 is slotted in as the #4C and can add a little plucky scoring punch on that 4th line. Our bottom 6 is really quite solid if you ignore the gaping hole at #1/2RW:

Chimmer - Beagle - MaJo
Hendricks - Perrault - Crabb
Ward

You can win with that bottom 6. You really can. It's got some size, some speed, some grit, some nasty, and some scoring pop.

Doan is just such a perfect fit for our needs. Unfortunately, I suspect the org may be thinking they can push MaJo up to that #2RW, and stick Ward/Crabb on the 3rd line. Doesn't really hurt the bottom 6, but robs us of critical scoring punch in the top-6 and puts us in a spot where we have ZERO scoring depth should we suffer some injuries (or really just Ovie getting injured).
