He needs to find that offensive drive that he had last year. I'd love for the team to get that in general. Our forwards aren't the most skilled, and there isn't much they can do about that, but they can control how much they drive the net and get into scoring areas. Too often I see them hanging around the perimeter, though Ek, Foligno, Zucker, and Greenway are doing a decent job in that regard. A healthy/ younger Parise was a master at it.
Donato seems to be trying to be a better two way player, but it might be at the expense of his offense. Either that, or he just isn't that good.
