Confirmed with Link: Sharks sign Joonas Donskoi (2 year ELC)

[Bowie22]

He certainly has a nifty pair of hands.

I would really like some official confirmation. It could be my natural disposition, but I'm wary.

NHL.com has been wrong before. I wanna see someone like Friedman or even the Sharks themselves announce it.

I tweeted Pollak to see if he knew anything.

Never seen him play, but these responses are encouraging!

Im big fan of Donskoi. Shootout specialist, great vision, real playmaker, impressive in both ends can play both wings and really shows up on powerplay. Quige same of type like Mikael Granlund without his streght. I was hoping Blues could get him. Joonas is really steal, low-risk high-reward. Damn it.

If this kid really is signed I'm gonna chalk it up to Karlsson. His signing and subsequent opportunity to play with Joe shows that effort and success is rewarded here. That's gotta add to any deal we try to make with players like this.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Well if he's signed he officially has the coolest name in the org.

Maybe Sundstrom and Larsson pushed hard for DW to sign him. European scouting's been solid.

I would agree with this.

They probably got a good look at him while watching Goldobin, playing in the same league and all. Seems like a good pick up if true.

Does he have a chance to crack the squad next year? Where would he play?

1. He has a chance, but the word is that he would be best served doing a year in the AHL to adjust to NA ice/style of play.

2. RW, would have to be in a scoring role.

Seems like there's quite a few people saying he's developed a pretty good two way game but not too strong physically at the moment.

Works for me to have him develop with the Barracuda.

Among him, Nieto, Wingels, Karlsson, Chartier and Goldobin, we have quite a bit of 2nd/3rd line winger talent.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He would most likely be an early call up if injuries hit if thats the case. Just like Milkweed.

 

[magic school bus]

Saw the shootout goal he had last week. /drools
