SAN JOSE -- Joonas Donskoi and Melker Karlsson both reached a point in their respective professional hockey careers where they felt that they were ready to take their shot at playing in North America.
After spending time scouting Donskoi and Karlsson in their native countries, the Sharks reached the same conclusion."Sometimes you take a shot at them and you don't know," said Sharks' director of scouting Tim Burke, adding that European scouts Niklas Sundstrom and Shin Larsson "kept watching them and they felt good about it, and that's why we went after them."
