Advanced Transaction Between The Chicago Blackhawks and Vegas Golden Knights For Ryan Donato

Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson is infamous for acquiring players in the off-season and than flipping them at the trade deadline for a high-value return, whether it is for a prospect or draft capital- it is truly an area Davidson flourishes in that fans can be thankful for throughout this rebuilding process.

Donato has this season remaining on his contract with a cheap average of $2M, a budget that most contending teams can afford for a potential depth player that has 11 goals alongside 11 points this season, on a struggling Chicago Blackhawks roster.

The Golden Knights will be strong suitors for Donato, who are known for making sneaky depth additions before the playoffs. But there it a player slot missing in their top nine forwards, Donato would slide in perfectly while providing help on their second power-play unit.

The Maple Leafs are in need of a third line center, and Ryan Donato is a $2M option that'll provide scoring help to their goal scorers such as Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

Colorado Avalanche

The Avalanches bottom six forwards certainly needs help, and Ryan Donato, who's been in a top-line role with the Blackhawks could certainly be a key addition.

While the Blackhawks are shopping a forward and are in search for a juicy return, expect Kyle Davidson to do his magic once again, with one of these three NHL franchises.
