Description

I honestly have no idea. On one hand, he's an upcoming RFA and a player still well under the age of 30 with great speed and offensive upside. But he's proven to be a complete defensive liability and his point production has fallen off a cliff lately.

I still think an team like Edmonton that's in the hunt and could use offensive depth could use a player like him, but what is the realistic price?

Nyquist netted us a 2nd and a conditional 3rd and he was a UFA. I find it hard to believe a team would even give up a late first rounder for AA but maybe with the right assets coming from Detroit they would? Someone like a LGD packaged with the deal in exchange for an expiring contract going the other way?

Would love to hear some thoughts

2nd round pick imo is the value you should be happy with.

If it's an early 2nd I'd be all over it, but that's likely not going to be the case. Unfortunately for Detroit, I feel like the time to trade AA for max value has passed unless something drastic changes

I think he'd be a good fit for Edmonton and Holland should make it happen before their season is lost.

I think Athanasiou is worth a 2nd and a B grade prospect.

One idea I had was AA and LGD in exchange for Manning (cap dump) and whatever picks make it work. In this case, probably a 2nd and a 3rd. Though i do wonder if Detroit could trade their second to move up and grab a 1st rounder from someone else.
