The hype on this kid is real for sure.
I've been picking apart his game a bit lately. He's been very careless with the puck a number of times each game in the past few. Obviously this is something to be expected of a young player but compared to a more polished player like Debrusk, it's night and day. I noticed Debrusk covering Donato's defensive mistakes a bunch of times in the Florida game. He also has these, wtf are you doing moments in the offensive zone. Holding the puck too long, giving the puck away.
But for sure he's got this killer instinct to produce and score points. Even the coaches understand his talent by keeping him on the top PP unit. He's also scoring at a PPG pace right now and it's hard to deny his offensive flair.
The future is bright with this kid, he will only round out into a more complete player as he ages.
