Sharks' Joonas Donskoi: Should stick with Logan Couture in top six

Donskoi is expected to reprise his role on a scoring line with Logan Couture in the 2016-17 season, CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Donskoi thrived as a rookie, often playing on the second line with Couture and Patrick Marleau. The smooth-skating Finn lit the lamp 11 times and doled out 25 assists during the regular season, then averaged half a point per game in the postseason. Versatility is Donskoi's forte, as he's capable of lining up on either wing (but look for him on the right wing this campaign). Teammates Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton may be the more popular options in fantasy hockey, but don't lose sight of Donskoi as a budding star with a top-six role all but guaranteed.
