Friedman: Red Wings could potentially move Athanasiou?

[RedWingzz]

Was gonna say... I wouldn't trade Hronek for Risto straight up.

Hronek is still unknown league wide because he plays for Detroit. People just have the assumption than anybody who plays for the Wings is terrible.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

I honestly can't tell if you are trying to be funny with this post, or just don't know what you are talking about.

A.A. has scored 30 goals once. He isn't a 30 goal scorer. Is Galchenyuk a 30 goal scorer ?

 

[Homesick]

I get that it's probably not a good fit for the Oilers, but to call a 30+ GOAL Scorer, a 30 pt. scorer, come on dude.

Ok, fine. We can call RNH a 28 goal/69 point centre then?
Still laughable to think that the wings could get RNH for AA and some garbage that at best will help them in a couple years.
But anointing AA a 30 goal scorer or RNH a 28 goal scorer is stupid since they've only done it once.

 

[Homesick]

He had 54 points last year but nice hot take.

Why did you forget to correct me that RNH had 28 goals and 69 points? Nice hot take

 

[Homesick]

Evidently AA had 0 assists last season.

He had 24 and how many goals does he have this year???

I was totally fair with the way I assessed both players through their career(Wings fans just got to butt hurt to correct me when I said RNH was a 50 point centre lol)

Both players are currently showing that last season was an anomaly not the norm

I didn’t know I needed to correct your entire post or just what I knew off the top of my head. You clearly don’t want to add any value to this thread so why even post in it or just trolling?

I think it would be really bad to trade him for picks unless we're talking a top 15-20 pick. Wings have players they can move for picks, and they have lots of prospects, lots of youth. They don't really need to trade young players for more picks and move the rebuild even further down the road.

AA should only really be traded if the return is another young player that they feel fits in better with their plans, for example a young center or D.

It really depends on how long he expects the rebuild to last, I think. He really tore TB down and restocked everything. Within about four years, the only guys left from the previous GM was Stamkos and Hedman. Although MSL left under unforeseen circumstances, obviously. :p

I think it depends on AA's contract demands too. What we saw in TB is Yzerman really, really, REALLY likes to collect assets initially.

What garbage has been offered with AA?

hronek is f***in unreal

gonna be for sure poppin 15-35 seasons for years

Oh waaaa. I called it like I see it. RNH is a 50 point centre and AA is a 30 point winger until they can prove more on a consistent basis.
Either way, A 69 point centre > 54 point winger

I dont see why you need to get defensive and accuse me of trolling. Dont melt

 

[RedWingzz]

You clearly missed my point. Is Mantha a 30 goal scorer? Mantha has never scored 30 in a season, AA has. You replied to me saying that AA isn't a 30 goal scorer (even though it is actually not an argument, and is a fact) and that Mantha is, yet in reality only 1 of the 2 of them scored 30 in a season.

I really don't know why this is so confusing...

 

[lucaseider]

Seems some people don't know the difference between a 30 goal scorer (which AA is) and a multi 30 goal scorer. I see no reason why a rebuilding team would give away a young 30 goal scorer.

I never once said anything about a RNH trade since it clearly wouldn’t benefit both teams nor said RNH < AA. Just stating facts but if you can’t take it then skip over my posts. The only thing you can deal that would interest me and still make you competitive would be futures or Bouchard/Broberg. No point trading AA for less since he just hit 30.

Sorry my bad. Didn't make it clear.
Mantha is more talented and I would bet that he is a 30 goal scorer.

 

[SEALBound]

Other teams are going to want AA because he once scored 30 goals...but his value is, unfortunately for the Wings fans, not that of an actual 30 goal scorer.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Something like, Athanasiou and Hronek for Ristolainen and Rodrigues

Get off the drugs dude? AA and Hronek are potential long term investments. Ristolainen could walk in 2 years or so. AA with a reasonable contract extension+Hronek are worth more then Ristolainen+Rodrigues combined.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Cost controlled 30 goal scorers are coveted. I believe the return should be substantial.

This, Especially with a reasonable contract extension attached to it.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yzerman will trade him for picks at the deadline.

With a reasonable contract extension attached to AA, If we could get the Tatar return for him. I'd be happy with that.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Lawrence Pilut and Evan Rodrigues for AA?

Yeah No thank you?

 

[TheAngryHank]

Detroit has no need for depth forwards at this point. How about a 1st+2nd? AA is a young, blazing fast 30 goal scorer that is still under team control.


Hopefully a team similar to Vegas the year Tatar was moved.

He should bring a better return than Tatar.

 

[LeapOnOver]

Maybe Isles can take back Nielsen and salary and get AA on the cheap for doing that favor. We need a third line center right now.

Nielsen
AA

for

2nd
JHS

You called a guy who scored 54 points in his third season a 30 point scorer.

Sooner or later you'll figure out the ignorance in your own statement.

 

[Goalie guy]

You all realize AA is playing hurt right? His goals will come like they always do. Now the big question is does Stevie keep him or not?
