Donato (4/9/96) at Harvard:
Fresh 15/16 (19) 32 games, 13g/8a/21p
Sophomore (20): 36 games, 21g/19a/40p
Junior (21): 29 games, 26g/17a/43p
B’s (21/22), 12 games, 5g/4a/9p
Look at Heinen (7/5/95) at Denver:
Freshman (19): 40 games, 16g/29a/45p
Sophomore (20): 41 games, 20g/20a/48p
AHL (21): 64 games, 14g/30a/44p
NHL (22) 77 games, 16g/31a/47p
Bjork (8/5/96) at Notre Dame:
Fresh (18): 41 games, 7g/15a/22p
Soph (19): 35 games, 12g/23a/35p
Junior (20): 39 games, 21g/31a/52p
NHL (21): 30 games, 4g/8a/12p
You can draw your own conclusions from these numbers. All three guys were at good D1 programs, playing difficult schedules.
Their roles were different at their schools. Donato relied on as more of a sniper, while Heinen and Donato were more “pass first” guys, capable of scoring, but also set up (in part probably due to a better supporting cast). They were also both better 3 zone players.
One could make an argument (based on age, level of competition, and production) that Bjork may actually project as the highest upside prospect?
