Would also love Athanasiou. But I think Holland would ask for a lot unfortunately.
Situation there is clearly Athanasiou and his Agent thinking they have Detroit by the balls because the team is rebuilding and he is one of the guys who fans will still come to see regardless of the new arena.

He should get a lot of playing time after we make the much talked about Staal/Holden for Duchene trade.

I won't argue his contract negotiation skills because he's given out some of the worst in the league, but is there any precedence for him trading a young guy like AA? His last few trades are weird, but he did get some decent value from the Smith trade

it isnt about assembling the 12 fastest skaters
its about moving miller to the 3C which addresses our hole and adding a proven scorer and possession monster who's shown the ability to get you 40-45 points in his sleep. he would be an asset on the pp and could take a regular shift 5v5 with 2 faster line mates.
i see no down side whatsoever.

This is where you'd need to get creative. Holden and a third wouldn't do it because they don't need him.

No. There is no real prededence here. However, it is an odd situation that does not reflect well on Holland.

but that's the thing, how do we know it reflects poorly on KH if we don't know AA's demands? Or do we?

they would match and it would accomplish nothing.. plus det is the old guard we would never OS them and vice/versa..
i think we should try and get him.. give lias time and AA could always be shifted to wing when lias comes/nash's deal expires.

Detroit is roughly $3M over the cap right now without AA signed. That being said, Franzen is likely to go on LTIR once the season begins.
Still...that's an issue depending on how long they have to wait to do that once the regular season starts. I don't recall the time frame before the LTIR window opens.

He does not play center. Gorts should still offer sheet him regardless, but he won't.
I have no problem giving some kids an opportunity to win a spot or two in the bottom six to start the season. If guys like Andersson, Nieves, etc step up and play well, great. If not, it shouldnt be too difficult to find a Dom Moore-type checking center in waivers or via trade.

I believe players can officially be placed on LTIR about a week before the season begins. Bottom line is that they can be over the cap when the season starts provided that 1) they place a player on LTIR to begin the season and 2) that player's AAV is >= the amount they are over the cap.
You're the second person who mentioned Smith being an insurance policy. I don't get it - where did this notion come from? There're are three spots to fill at 3D. If Shattenkirk and Smith are not signed who plays there? Do you seriously think it would be Holden, Bereglazov and DeAngelo?
Eh, didn't I write that in response to someone claiming that he was insurance and my message was that if that was the case he wasn't a good option for that?
I certainly didn't call him insurance.As for your other question. Holden plays at RD if we have a need there. I am far from his biggest fan -- but he can hold a spot. DeAngelo is not a 19 y/o. He played what almost a third of last season and is 22 y/o. If we have an opening, I think it would be his to lose. If we didn't sign either Shatty or Smith, would Bereglazov still be the 3rd RD. I am very far from Bereglazov being able to play RD, would be a big handicap for him.
