3 Potential Trade Destinations For Blackhawks' Ryan Donato

Chicago Blackhawks forward Ryan Donato is having an excellent season for the Original Six club. In 38 games, he has 11 goals to go along with 22 points. Due to this and his pending UFA status, he is standing out as a prime rental candidate for playoff clubs. Thus, let's discuss three teams who could look to acquire him.

Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights could very well be in the mix for Donato as we get closer to the deadline. He would be a nice addition to their top nine if acquired and would also offer them another option for their second power-play unit.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs are expected to target centers at the deadline, and Donato could be a solid option for their bottom six because of it. He would provide them with more secondary scoring if acquired, so he could be a decent affordable addition for them to consider.

Colorado Avalanche

The Avalanche also stand out as a possible landing spot for Donato. It is no secret that their bottom six needs work, and Donato would give them another skilled option for it. He could be a good fit on their third line, especially when noting that he can play both down the middle and on the wing.
