If I was a team like Colorado that lacked depth I'd be all over Donato.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice

 

[nmgrbhfn]

I like these lines.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

That pass by Hall was a beauty!

 

[Geoist]

It's great to see this team starting to get more than 2 goals in a game.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

SO. MUCH. TRADE. VALUE.

 

[southsideIrish]

I really don’t give a shit that he’s fallen a few times while adjusting to the pace and physicality of the NHL level.

If you genuinely think Nazar can’t skate then I’d seriously suggest actually opening your eyes while watching games

He falls down noticeably often, Pang a few games ago was also very generous in calling it "adjusting to the NHL game". If you want to pretend it's not happening then fine, but he's definitely having issues.

 

[Geoist]

And he fell again - called "stumbled" again generously by the play by play.

Umm, he's a very good skater. Lots of guys falling. Maybe it's the ice?

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop but Donato just keeps scoring ugly.

He’ll go cold on whatever team he goes to, just like Lafferty did. But GMs don’t have that kind of forethought, so strike while the iron is hot.

Career high of 31 points, that’s number 27 today.

Please point to where I pretended it wasn’t happening? I’m just not naive enough to think that its a long term concern or that it makes him a bad skater

On the trades forum they said the Hawks were scouting the Avs. Do you think Casey M. could be in the mix? Would you want him for the Hawks?

I'd take him for sure. I just think it would cost more than Donato.

Nah he's not a bad skater he just falls down untouched a lot. Like I said it's been mentioned by the commentators in several games - it's not a one-off thing. Just "adjusting to the pace" like you said lol.

What a weird hill to die on. He was drafted so high because he's such a good skater.

I saw a proposal of...

Rantanen + Mittelstadt

for

Jones + Teravainen/Bertuzzi + Hall

that poster must think it’s 2018

I agree with you, that's why it's frustrating to see him falling alot.

I'm very curious to see what Jones brings back in a trade. This'll be an interesting trade deadline for sure

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If this team ever gets really talented up front I think Reichel is gonna thrive in the bottom six. He has completely changed his game to stay in the lineup. Coachability is a huge plus.

Ok. Start a thread "We have a Nazar skating problem" already.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Eventually these chances for Nazar will start to go in

Damn wish they would start now

 

[Tifosi]

UC ice is shit

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Jones with a brutal shift.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Helluva move for a poor skater like Nazar.
