Sharks mailbag: Major decisions loom with season approaching

Digging into the Sharks mailbag, with some major decisions looming before opening night next Wednesday...

I've only seen a couple preseason games, so who do you take to make the roster: Goldobin or Donskoi, or both? (Dom @nerdybeard)

Considering he remains on the Thornton-Pavelski line in practice, I think Joonas Donskoi is already on the team while Nikolay Goldobin will start the season with the Barracuda.

That being said, I would bet Goldobin plays in at least a few Sharks games this season, but only after he has at least a month under his belt playing 18-20 minutes a night on the Barracuda’s top line, skating in every situation.
