Fair point. I was saying in another thread that I wish I could just switch out Kessel for Athanasiou.AA is exactly the type of player you need to keep away from Tocchet. He has zero interest in playing within a system and completely f***s up whatever line he is on matchup wise. You already have that problem with Kessel. Signing AA would be acceptable if Kessel is traded/waived/whatever, but BA should have nothing to do with him at the moment.
BA has managed to very carefully increase the team's edge 5v5. One bad fit can piss it all away.
