Luca Cagnoni's promotion to the NHL illustrates his impressive AHL performance, reinforcing the Sharks' decision to reward his skill and potential with an opportunity at the next level.
He can move, that's for sure. He's a little water bug out there... Short, but really fast. Can make some really nice plays," said Vincent Desharnais regarding Cagnoni.
In his first year of professional hockey, the 20-year-old Cagnoni is second among all AHL defensemen with 47 points in 56 games.
It gives me a lot of confidence, Cagnoni said, emphasizing the assurance he gains from his successful debut in the NHL.
