Chicago's other players will likely generate more interest at the trade deadline, but Donato can beat them all for sheer effort.
There might be fewer sellers around the NHL this season than usual, but the Hawks are certainly one. That scarcity of available players could drive up prices.

Donato scored a goal on seven shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
