posted this on the trade board, but want Wings fans opinions.
Athanasiou (DET) for M.Granlund (NSH)
Both Top 6 F's. I think this helps both teams as AA is a natural LW/RW who can play C if needed. Granlund is a natural C, who can play W. Both are slumping this year, while Granlund's slump started after his trade to NSH last season, so ~37gp. He may just need a change of scenery and/or NSH isn't a good fit for him. AA started the year injured & had a 4th liner (Glendening) as his C & a 3rd liner/rookie Hirose, until the last few games, now has 35 yr. old Filppula & Fabbri as linemates.
AA: amazing: skater, dekes, hands, shot (especially wrister & 1-timer), blazing speed, (as fast as Larkin & McDavid, if not slightly faster.). Decent size/strength. 25, RFA. His breakaways/speed alone can be game-breakers. Had 30G (54 pts.) last year, many of those were 5on5 goals playing with 3rd/4th liners, so much so that he's in elite company (look it up if you don't believe me). We just don't have a good 2C yet, hopefully Veleno is ready within 2-3 seasons max.
Granlund: 27, UFA, great playmaker, primary assists, 5on 5 prouduction etc. Anybody know what he's looking for on his next contract $/term/clause(s)?
A swap would save NSH $2.75M on cap this season to add additional piece(s) by TDL for a cup run (they're poised & WC is wide open).
Maybe a small add from NSH (a 3rd?) as they're saving $2.75M. Fair trade? why/why not? +/- to balance it out, add reason(s). Granlund must agree to new contract w/Wings prior to trade.
