NEW YORK -- Ryan Donato has been a goal scorer wherever he has played. Now, the newest member of the Wild hopes to carve out that role as an NHLer.
Minnesota traded for Donato, along with a conditional fifth-round pick in this summer's NHL Draft, because it believes it is acquiring a guy who has the ability to fill the net with pucks on a regular basis.
In order to do that, you have to have a shoot-first mentality, something that Donato has in spades.
