Kirk- I've heard some questions about his D (ability and interest). Any truth to those?
Nah. I think some people wish he had those issues. He's a 200-foot player.

Why is he bothering with draft? If he stays in school for four years, He will become unrestricted free agent three weeks after graduation.
LWOS compiled some stuff on him. Not our traditional scouting report though. We require a minimum of two full games (and not back-to-back) to do a scouting report and we could only get tape of one on Donato.

he has looked really really good in the USHL from what I have seen with Omaha. So smart with and away from the puck.
6 points in 2 games so far in his USHL debut. this kid does have a future ahead but it will just take some time until he gets there.
Figured I’d bump the thread as he is currently 2nd in PPG in NCAA, at Harvard with 12 goals and 20 points in 12 games. Has to be on a short list for hobey Baker this year despite currently ranking 39th in points. Largely due to Harvard (and all of the Ivy League) playing a light schedule so far.
Although his potential Olympic bid may screw up some hobey dreams if he misses some time at Harvard due to it. Likely a trade off he’ll accept
3rd highest ppg (1.50) of all NCAA too.Donato carrying Harvard on his back now with 16-8-24 in 16 games. The next highest point scorer on his team has 14 points, the 2nd highest goal scorer has 5 goals.
So he hasn’t played one NHL game yet and he’s better than Draisaitl, Fiala, Larkin, Schmaltz and Fabbri? Ok...The rich will just get richer. Donato has potential to be the 2nd best player from that 2014 draft class after Pastrnak. Scary with Heinen and Bjork already coming from it as well.

I see. Could very well be.Relax lmfao. I meant for the Bruins.

That 2014 draft class for the Bruins is looking very good. Pastrnak, Donato, Bjork, Heinenhim and Bjork are going to be a great pair of smart 200ft players for the Bruins...nice picks that any team could have had.
