The Athanasiou trade is interesting. I tried a Trocheck Colorado trade and I was told it would have to be an over pay to get him. He's that all around, O'Reilly junior.

Klefbom I think has more value. He’s cheaper and under contract for a year longer.

Yzerman grabs that and RUNS!

Maybe yzerman does. If the oilers make the playoffs and that draft pick is in the 15-20 range it’s not that big of a rip off. I’m not sure what puljujarvi’s worth is.

I think Holland is looking for a 2nd + a prospect for Puljujarvi.

If Athanasiou was worth all that, Yzerman wouldn't be shopping him around the league.

No he doesn't? Oilers 2020 1st round pick is probably 15-20 right now. Gagner is a rental UFA and does us no good and Puljujarvi hasn't proven a thing. None of this serves Detroit's interest right now.

Detroit is awful. Probably worst team in the league and you’re saying they have no interest in acquiring 1st round picks. Gagner is added so the money works and is probably good enough to play on Detroit’s second line. He’s better than Nielsen. Puljujarvi would probably be the 6th best forward on the wings right now. What do you think AA’s value is considering the start he’s had?

More than AA is worth. Why do you think his name is resurfacing in trade rumors? Because Yzerman wants to trade him after the 30-goal season, which he's unlikely to ever repeat. Stevie is smart, so he's selling high.
