Interesting;

"2010 round 4 #99 overall by Florida Panthers"

He could be a nice FA pick up.

I've liked what I've seen of him in international tournaments & some Liiga games over the years.

Edit: Or not...

Stylistically he reminds me of T.J Oshie. Small but strong and is very good at protecting the puck. Great hands and is money in the shootouts.

Ya, good hands, vision & he's creative.

My friend @FriedgeHNIC is reporting Donskoi coule be a Shark and not a Panther. I believe him. Was drafted by Panthers in 2010.

Yay free developed prospect! I wonder if he'll make the Sharks.

 

[Bowie22]

If this is true...party hard! Free prospect!

 

[sr228]

I'd guess he might go the same route as Karlsson did this season but if things go well he could be a good, skilled top 9 wing.

Another 20 goal prospect ? This is dream.

Really gotta give props to DW so far. Now, if we can sign Babcock on Wednesday....

Based on the trade forums, he was originally drafted by the Panthers and signed to a two year ELC. We have signed him now. But, I don't think any of is 'official' yet.

 

[LadyStanley]

Florida had his rights for 2 years (2010-2012).

The source on that is Lavoie's tweet from before the one where he said it might be the Sharks.

4 years I believe.

Cool. Thx

Comment from his prospect thread "He could be the best penalty shot taker I've seen ever"

 

[Coily]

Sharks don't sign UFA's though.....
