Detroit set a price of two second-round picks for Andreas Athanasiou in the last week and Edmonton met it. He's a pending RFA. #SNTrade

AA with McDavid is going to be lightening fast and exciting. Good for AA to get a good situation.

[ThankGord]

meh, good enough but not very exciting return.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Good on Yzerman for sticking to his guns and not getting taken then.
Can't let GMs think they can get over on you.

Just checked Oilers only have 1 pick second round this year. So what is it

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Looks like I get to root against Edmonton now.

 

[ShelbyZ]

I actually hate it. Was more excited to potentially get players or prospects from the Jackets since they don't have any picks. I was all for trading AA, but not for a little more than what Brendan Smith returned.

I guess I have to hope Yzerman is better at drafting than he is selling at the deadline.

that didn´t take long

 

[Athana see you later]

Can’t tell if I need a new handle or not...

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Probably one this year and one next

Welcome to Detroit Sam Gagner!

 

[Richard Gibson]

 

[The Wizard of Oz]

His value is at an all time low and I expect him to bounce back with 30 goals next year playing with Drai and McDavid. What can you do? At least Steve got something out of it.

 

[ricky0034]

i'd have rather just kept him over this

 

[vladdy16]

Trading for Gagner is an embarassment.

Gagner's a UFA lol... It's Money

 

[TheOtherOne]

Meh.

Someone needs to throw together a list of 2nds. f*** I'll do it.
Lindstrom
Hronek
Givani Smith
Bertuzzi
Nastasiuk
Frk
Sproul
Ouellet
Jurco
Jarnkrok
Tatar
Ferraro
Axelsson
Matthias
Emmerton
Abdelkader

If we can turn this into a couple Abdelkaders I think we'll all be happy!

 

[raymond23]

Two seconds makes the upcoming drafts a little more exciting

Not sure how to feel about this trade. Good value but I'm just afraid of AA exploding lol

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Don't like adding Kuffner in when we took a cap dump back but whatever, it's still a pair of 2nd rounders and Kuff was a free asset.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Trading for Gagner is an embarassment.

I mean he's probably a throw in since his cap hit and salary are actually higher than AA's.

Wonder if that actually drove up the price in picks?
