Should the Kings consider this

Does Minnesota?

I mean probably they don't have room to give him quality time. Like I said, it doesn't have to be Grundstrom.

They'd probably want JAD

We don't, at least not right now. Donato deserves at least top 9 minutes and for whatever reason he averaged under 11 minutes per game last year and still scored 14 goals. I think the Parise trade that fell through was intended to get Donato more ice time and PP minutes but it never happened.

All of that being said, I hope we could get more than just Grundstrom for him. If he's traded I'd rather we try to swing a deal for an underwhelming center prospect that still has potential like Borgstrom or Mitts. Maybe JAD fits that bill? Otherwise I like Akil Thomas in your system a lot, but he might be too valuable in a deal for just Donato.

Basically what he said. Donato will score and plays hard, just didn’t get a fair shake in Boston and hasn’t gotten one in Minnesota either. A prospect and maybe a throw away draft pic, like a 5th sounds about right
