Mrázek is open to being traded ahead of Friday’s deadline, but that might be a long shot, given his cap hit ($4.25 million), the extra year he has left, and the Blackhawks’ inability to retain salary on any more contracts. So he might have to wait for a summer trade or buyout. In the meantime, he plans on being a good pro.

Donato had generated lots of trade interest all week, but now the Hawks will likely try to work out a new contract for their leading goal-scorer.

Ryan Donato’s team-leading 23rd goal wasn’t enough to stave off the Chicago Blackhawks’ 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.
