My Take
Dakota Joshua is the kind of player I instinctively root for. Drafted 128th overall, no anointed prospect, he grinded through college hockey at Ohio State and bounced between St. Louis, Vancouver, and now Toronto. To me that path matters more than raw pedigree. A forward who builds a real NHL career from a late draft slot has earned every shift through persistence, not hype. There's something honest about that climb, and I suspect his best hockey is still ahead of him. I'll be watching to see how far that blue-collar work ethic carries him.
