Agrees to four-year deal Donato signed four-year, $16 million contract with the Blackhawks on Wednesday.
Impact Donato was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer now that his previous two-year, $4 million contract is complete. He set career highs with 31 goals and 62 points across 80 appearances with Chicago in 2024-25. That's a huge jump from his previous personal best of 31 points in 2021-22. The increase came in part because he averaged 16:19 of ice time last season compared to his career average of 13:21, but even if he maintains that role next season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 29-year-old's offensive output slip given how big of a jump he just saw.

Nets goal in shootout loss Donato scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Jets.
Impact Donato is bouncing back in the final week of the season with a pair of goals over the last two games. He had previously gone four contests without a point, matching his longest droughts of the season. The 29-year-old has nearly doubled his previous career high in points -- he's at 31 goals, 30 assists, 178 shots on net, 103 hits and a minus-16 rating across 78 appearances in 2024-25. Re-signing Donato will likely be a top priority for the Blackhawks once the offseason begins, as he's proven himself to be a versatile and reliable forward this year, though his 17.4 shooting percentage is bound to regress in 2025-26.
