Hell no. Why would Dallas give up a 1st in this draft?

 

[golffuul]

How about Athanasiou and Trevor Daley and a 3rd in 2020 for Ty Delandrea, Joseph Cecconi, and the cap dump of your choice.

This is a general offer, that can always be worked on from both sides.

Our 1st might end up being very high so it’s an easy nah from me.

Not high on Dellandrea at all.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Athanasiou is having a rough start this year, with Mantha being the top producer and playing in an overall weak team. His value is not that high at the moment (esp. since there is not much visibility regarding where the DAL 1st will end up to be), but if he recovers and scores 20-30 goals like past years, he will have some value at the TDL.

Athanasiou may help DAL scoring though and I guess if the 1st was top 10 protected and a 2nd pick or so, the offer may be fair, what would DAL fans think about it ?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Dallas would be complete idiots to do this trade

 

[Ranksu]

Dallas will bounce back, but too early proposal.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Lets jut take a quick look at the standings...

...I'm guessing that you wouldn't be too keen on the deal if it was AA and a dump for Dallas's first non-lottery first.

No way Dallas does this.

He doesnt get you a 1st from a non playoff team.

better bet would be a 2nd that became a 1st if the team went to the conference finals.

He is a Rfa at years end and just scored 30 goals last season and can skate like the wind. No way is he only worth a 2nd / late first.

 

[Ducks in a row]

He is not even close to worth the kind of pick it could turn out to be.

 

[QcFlames12]

Flames do this without blinking.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Detroit says deal, Dallas not so much.

Nobody is trading an unknown 1st round pick for someone who will be 26 next season and risk this being a top 10 pick.

Just because Dallas is taking on a bunch of older veterans, doesn't mean that they're a retirement home. This is somehow worse than the original offer. You should be ashamed.

And yes, he is worth a late first/early second given that he is at the end of his RFA period, has one decent season under his belt, and probably wants a Ferland deal, which, lol, hell no. It's not just about the player, it's about cost control and Athanasiou is the definition of negative cost control.

You'll either get a similar player back, or a B prospect and a mid pick. Maybe go try to get Devin Shore from Anaheim.

 

[POVERTY]

Did I miss the news of Dallas hiring Chiarelli?

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Flames do this without blinking.

The Flames pick will best case scenario be in the late teens, probably a lot higher. Dallas's could be a lottery pick.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Well, at least OP is offering to retain and take back a cap dump, as apposed to a straight up AA for a 1st proposal.

At this point, it'd take a sizeable cap dump for any team to even consider giving up a 1st for AA right now.

I don't see any Abdelkader-esque contracts on Dallas that would possibly make this worthwhile for them.

This management will hand over their first-born to you over their first-rounder.

 

[780il]

Right now AA doesn't fetch a first from a playoff team, let alone Dallas...

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Pair of 2nds and a b prospect seems a much more realistic ask.

 

[greasysnapper]

Dallas would never pull the trigger on OP's original offer, but Athanasou on a line with Hintz and Gurianov would be incredibly dangerous; easily would be the fastest line in the league.

 

[LarKing]

I’d do it. Big gamble by Dallas hoping to get better. I don’t understand how that team has that much talent and is so bad. Is it the coaching? Goaltending?

they don't have a lot of talent. that's partly why they're bad
