    Curious as to what people anticipate his point total could be next year and in 3 years. Thanks

    next year... It's Minn, so 45-55.

    Depending on what Minnesota does with it's forward group in the offseason, I'd pencil Donato in for around 50-points from the second line. Down the road, I expect him to be a consistent 60-point player.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    He was impressive in his short time with Minny, and they are starving for offense so he could see consistent top 6 minutes and some really nice power play usage. That said, they don't have any real star forwards, so no one is going to score a lot of points on this team. I can't see Donato scoring more than 50-55 pts next year and for the next few.

    In addition to him playing on Minnesota which will drag any player's offence down, I don't see his point totals ever really getting above 50 points. Young + Potential doesn't always pan out. I would try to trade him if you own him while his perceived value is still somewhat high.

    I don't like doing specific point projections but I think he'll be fine as a scoring line player. Outside of a bad start this year he's been trending up for a while. I'm thinking 40-55 points as a guy who depends on linemates and chemistry to produce. Upside could be much higher if a star arrives in Minnesota.
