Cant be upset at acquiring a 30 goal scorer and not giving up a 1st round pick.
Athanasiou has incredible speed which makes him a compelling player by the eye test, but his on-ice results at even strength over the past 3 seasons have been some of the worst in the league, even after isolating his impact from his teammates.
It's possible that he could turn things around in Edmonton, but this is a very steep price.

Option 1: gives McDavid a scoring winger that can keep up, they score tons of goalsI don’t get the AA+Mcdavid is a great combo opinion.
AA has a low hockey IQ and is selfish with the puck.
Give me the slowest player in the league with a high IQ to put with him. Give me just about anyone over AA.
…AA generating some offense on a 3rd line could work though
Not a fan of the return at all. 2 2nds, so basically we traded Athanasiou for 2 picks that statistically won't make the NHL. Terrible by Yzerman, this is a panic move. He should have waited, allowed AA's value to go up, and then trade him at the draft or next year.
