McKenzie: Holland Listening to Offers on Andreas Athanasiou

[Shaffer]

McKenzie says they don’t want picks. They want a similar aged player with the same offensive upside. NOTE: Not Shopping Him.

EDIT: He said this on NHL Live, if someone could find the link that would be great.

So they want a player equivalent to AA for a player who's threatening to bolt to the KHL and isn't under contract? Good luck with that.

 

[Zippy316]

I would offer a lightly used Miles Wood, Joseph Blandisi, or John Quenneville for them from the Devils, but I doubt the Red Wings will be interested in that.

 

[Shaffer]

I wonder if Sprong would interest them at all. Probably not.

 

[Aladyyn]

he can have Justin Bailey

 

[PensandCaps]

I wonder if Sprong would interest them at all. Probably not.

Lol hell no from the pens.

 

[sabresnyper]

he can have Justin Bailey

Or Nylander

 

[Pongs21]

Have your pick of Petan, Dano, Armia

 

[Gandalf The Habs Fan]

This screams Alex Galchenyuk

 

[rent free]

he should package aa with a bad contract and see if teams will bite

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I would offer sheet him. f*** Holland, he can enjoy that 2nd round pick in return.

 

[rent free]

I would offer sheet him. **** Holland.

surprised no one has done that

I'd package something together in a heartbeat, but we can't fit the salary unless Kronwall completely just gives up and goes on LTIR forever.

Maybe Galchenyuk is too much but I think we are ruining his talent! I want him to shine in a very good organisation

 

[WesMcCauley]

Hopefully Gorton is interested! NYR need forward depth badly!

 

[Riptide]

I wonder if Sprong would interest them at all. Probably not.

I wouldn't care if he did or didn't... there's no way I'd offer up Sprong for AA.

 

[Habs10025]

Sprong would to much to give up .. Something put together involving Sheary + ?

Thank you.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sharks could offer up Chris Tierney and a little add on to that.

 

[Riptide]

Sprong is too much to give up, but Sheary+ isn't? Jesus.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

surprised no one has done that

There's too much diplomacy in today's NHL.

Would you guys do something like
-Charlie Lindgren
-De larose or McCaron(Hometown boy)
-Maybe a guy like Lernout or a second pick
For
Athanasiou

why ?
You get your futur number 1 goalie. You'll be able to trade Howard for good assets.
You get a hometown boy who still have a good potentiel to be a third liner player. He's big. Try to develop him to a prototype like Franzen.
And you get a legit 5th D who can easily become a 4th D.
De larose is the kind of player that wings love. I think this kid have a good potentiel... Forsberg already said it. He got a good shot, good skating, and a good back check guy.
+
Red wings can't receive a big salary and no one of these guys have a big contract.
What do you think guys ?

Maybe if you had two Athanasious to give. Otherwise why would the Habs trade the better player for one that’s ready to bolt to Russia?

I'm sure Montreal is happy with their $5 million fourth line player.
