If he wasn't tied to the Dubnyk deal it's hard to imagine this was the best Guerin could get from anyone. It feels like he blinked by trying to offload Donato early before all the dominoes fell and he risked being stuck with a player that had no place on the roster. I don't like it, but maybe he's got bigger things planned.I get that he had no place on this roster, but how is that the best deal you can get. A late 3rd next year?
i kind of get the feeling this was the "sweetener " for the duby trade and it just went down seperately.If he wasn't tied to the Dubnyk deal it's hard to imagine this was the best Guerin could get from anyone.

Maybe the league at large just doesn't value Donato the way some folks here do. Shocker, I know....but hear me out. Maybe that's why they're running front offices and we're here commentating on it? Just a thought.
seems wrong
eh, wish it could've been more. Hot take though, I think Donato is severely overrated by Wild fans. I do think the Wild misused him and he deserved more ice time. I just think a lot of Donato lovers ignored his weaknesses.
Unfortunately, he suffered under the log jam of LWs the Wild have.
Same as any other day. When GMs confirm our biases they're sensible pragmatists. When they don't they're idiots.Maybe the league at large just doesn't value Donato the way some folks here do.

Im thinking its what the return/ sweetner would be. With these deals separated, the wild will probably need to give the sharks somethingI'm very curious now, with the Donato deal sealed. Lebrun says a Dubnyk deal, "if completed", would be announced later today. Russo wrote in the Donato article that Dubnyk gave the green light over the weekend.
So what's the hold up?

Then why are the deals separate? The whole picture isnt clear to any of us. maybe the sharks wanted more than donato as a sweetner so they chose to just not include himDoesn't check out. Donato could have been the sweetener.
