Value of: Ryan Donato

[BHawk21]

good player on a terrible team, trade him to a playoff team and he wont get 1st line time, or 1st line PP. His stat line he is putting up on the Hawks wont be put up anywhere else this playoff season.

no shit

Isn’t his even strength scoring decent? He might help someone’s second line if he’s a fit.

He'll play 3rd line wing. Dude has a good shot and not a pass first guy either. I know the Hawks will trade him because it's a biz but will miss him. He scores no matter who he is with too.

He is tied for 19th in the league with 19 even strength goals, so he has shown this season the he doesn’t need PP time to produce.

This is awful for the Hawks, Sheary is an AHL player at this point who is signed for $2m for another year after this one. he has no value to Chicago, they are actually doing Tampa a favour by taking him off their hands.

So that means the Hawks are taking a $2m cap hit, plus giving Tampa Donato, Reichel and a 2nd round pick for Geekie… brutal. Geekie hasn’t shown anything to really warrant more than Reichel straight up.

I mean he gets 13:35 ES TOI/G and 1:49 PP TOI/G on Chicago. These are not prime-time usage numbers. On a team like Tampa they would ranked 7th in ES usage and 5th in PP usage among forwards so he's very much just getting middle six minutes as it is. He's been loaded with more ice after the Hall trade and approaching the deadline but he was already solidly productive before then.

The whole point of a guy like Donato is he kind of can generate a bit of offense from a lower usage position.

Doesn't Kyle want all the Connor's in the NHL?
