Detroit Red Wings #7 Prospect Mid-Season 14-15

[Frk It]

Is the "projects as a winger" mantra still true for Athanasiou? Or in that just still lingering from his junior days?

Seems like they have put in a ton of work on developing him as a center, and it doesn't seem like he has struggled at all since moving there.

AA shouldn't be compared to Helm. I think Stalberg from his Chicago days would be a good comparable for AA, expecially since I see AA as a winger when he gets to the NHL.

Exact same player he reminds me of. We will see what happens, if he can make it work at center and gets better at understanding things like defensive and offensive spacing and how to use that his ceiling is incredibly high. Ultimately Stalberg never really did that, while a good player in the right settings that has harmed his career.

How is a top 4 ceiling guy losing to Darren Helm 2.0?

If either of these two guys turn out to be darreb helms, that is a career nhler, than we struck gold.

Imagine Helm doing this
