Athanasiou is pretty bad defensively and even though he put 30 goals last season, I don’t think that will be the norm for him. I wouldn’t commit to him long term either.

I would be comfortable giving up Sebastian aho (LHD) , kieffer bellows, and a 2nd. Not saying that would get it done, but I wouldn’t give up more than that for him

What would you say Aho's ceiling is?

I wouldn't be interested in that by any means as a Wings fan. Would have to be some package starting with Wilde or Wahlstrom. Nothing else in the futures in the Islanders' system is remotely interesting. Athanasiou playing with talent can be a game changer.

He reminds me of Sam girard. He played 23 games for the islanders a few years ago and he looked really good, he’s just been a victim of good defensive depth. I think his ceiling is 2nd pairing defenseman but I think he’ll have no problem reaching it.

Athanasiou has been consistently bad defensively and I just wouldn’t give up and A prospects for him - maybe a 1st rd pick alone. I wouldn’t even consider trading Noah Dobson, Wilde, or wahlstrom for him

Fair enough, but you don't turn a guy who scored 30 in the NHL and is 25 years old into a later-first-round pick who you hope can become what he is. Would be terrible asset management. He's actually not as bad defensively as most make him out to be. Better when he plays center, which I wish the Wings would go back to.

Aho played the last 22 games of the 2017-18 season and hasn't been called since. He's 23 and very small. I think he's bottom pair dman if he makes it to the NHL permanently.
That's just my opinion.
