You have to wonder how Donovan was regarded prior to the season. I’m sure his stock has tumbled somewhat, but he still has such an enticing combination of size and skating ability that scouts crave. I’m likewise surprised to see Brodzinski so far down the list given his production and size, but there’s still some time for his stock to rise.

I believe many are realizing that he is a playmaker and not a pure scorer. My two cents. I think many thought he would carry the magnificent load this year (they lost a ton last year) and frankly that’s not him. He needs more talent around him so he can feed the puck. I could be wrong, but him and Worth were like PB & J. Still I thought he would dominate high school hockey with that size regardless. He hasn’t (yet).

Credit given where it’s seen first YHH! Searched out the full list afterwards. Nice to see Minnesota getting good representation.

Has he made a decision on his college choice yet? Is there any chance he is considering the Major Junior route?

Maybe he goes and teams up with Garret Worth. Might spark his production as well. These two guys remind me of the Spehar/Locker combo from the 90's. Not quite in how they scored, but in how well they worked together.
