Atkinson is a RW - and not one I'd be all that eager to trade.
Also, isn't Kesler currently on IR? That wouldn't exactly help...
It looked like Torts has been trying to switch him with Bjork recently? I don't think it's too much of a stretch to imagine him playing the otherside, but yes he is a RW. Anaheim does not need another true RW, and you aren't trading Panarin, they would want a lot better than Calvert for Kesler. Would you trade Bjork?
Yes Kesler is slated to come back at the end of December. If they traded for him today, no it would not help, but he's going to be back before the trade deadline and columbus isn't exactly out of playoffs? I'm working under the assumption that the trade isn't happening tomorrow.
Columbus typical LWs are Panarin, Foligno (who can play RW as well), Bjorkstrand, Milano, and Jenner.
FWIW Atkinson re-signed for seven years last month.
Ah, I did not scroll down on Capfriendly, that is my bad.
In a deal before the trade deadline, what would you be willing to give up on left wing for Kesler? If the answer is nothing, that is fine, just say that and then I don't have to keep revisiting the thread or I can try to find another player (and hopefully learn how to read capfriendly)
Lastly, worst case scenario, Atkinson stays right and they move Silfverberg over. I believe he is registered as being able to play both wings.
