I like this move. Cap hit is perfect for a mid-6 fwd and the length isn't that long.
Yeah I was going to say The same. Pretty Good value if he can at least maintain what he did this year. Not too much of an overpayment to where it will be tradable in the future too if needed.

Exactly. Realistically, 4M in today cap dollars is like 2.69M back in 2012/2014. We're paying less for Donato comparatively than we did for Dave Bolland in that time frame, as well as paying comparatively about the same as we did for Kruger in 2017. All in my estimation are comparable players.

Even if Donato drops to ~20G next year, we're still paying him around market value for what he brings as a mid-6 winger.
