LETS GO

 

[Troya]

The hats are raining for Donato. That was two quick goals.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Donato with his 2nd and 3rd just 15 seconds apart.

 

[ello]

Great entry by Bedard

 

[Backyard Hockey]

So that was fun

 

[Wally1112pac]

No one wanted Donato at the trade deadline.

Their loss.

 

[bwanajamba]

That was nasty

 

[TLEH]

Price just went up

 

[featherhawk]

ryan donato sure has resurected his career in the windy city...unreal, a contract and a new baby seems to have been the key to this guys success. Amazing...

 

[Dead Meat]

He's going to sign with a good fit - Chicago is a great fit.

 

[SimpleJack]

The amount of young talent/potential on our blueline tonight is INSANE.

Opportunity to play lots on a bad team. But more importantly, he went crazy in the offseason to improve his skating. That can make all the difference in the world.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Donato is Kyle Calder 2.0.

We'll re-sign him to a solid deal provided he gives Bedard the number to his off-season trainer.

 

[Geoist]

So how high we willing to go for Donato and how many years?

 

[x Tame Impala]

give that man his money

 

[featherhawk]

So how high we willing to go for Donato and how many years?

likely more AAV for a shorter term IMO...either way, he is going to get paid...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

likely more AAV for a shorter term IMO...either way, he is going to get paid...

And Hawks will regret it

He is never going to replicate this year and should have been traded

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

So how high we willing to go for Donato and how many years?

3 years max. AAV under 5.5. I'd rather just let him walk I have no faith in him repeating this season.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Frank Vatrano vibes for Donato

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Donato is going to get way too much money from somebody.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Switched to the Antenna so I could watch this on this big ass TV and it f***ing sucks btw.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

3 years max. AAV under 5.5. I'd rather just let him walk I have no faith in him repeating this season.

5.5 sounds like a lot, but it kind of isn’t anymore. The cap two years from now is what, 105 million, and only increasing?

5.5 is the new 3 million. If he wants like 6 years, then that’s the sticking point for me. But I’d overpay in dollars just because it’s not a guarantee they’ll be able to acquire multiple forwards this offseason.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Panger with the immediate jinx

 

[Wally1112pac]

That has to be caught...
