I can get behind Bjugstad, but I don't think Athanasiou is a guy I'd go after. He's fast but otherwise I don't see him as a worthwhile add.

How would you feel about targeting Puljujarvi for that spot? I think his skillset would mesh better with Compher and Newhook.

I don't know what the pricetag is on puljujarvi, plus AA is a rental here, where i think we'd want to keep puljujarvi and i donno what the money will be like next season.

Chicago isn't bringing out the best in anyone right now. I think AA is deep enough in his career where he knows he would be a role player and accept the role he gets on this team where younger guys like puljajarvi still want to show they can be top 6 players, plus his speed i think would work well with our 3rd line.

Agree about both players - Bjugstad would be a good depth addition but AA is a defensive black hole

How much would Edmonton as for JP? I know they've soured on him but he still has that 1st-round pedigree. If they'd do a "change-of-scenery" swap for someone like Kaut, that would be cool.

I don't think the price for JP is very high. There have been. Rumblings that Edmonton went from thinking they'd need to attach an asset or retain on him to optimism they'll get something in return without retention. So my guess is Kaut or a 4th or something like that. My speculation (with nothing to back it) is that they may want to send him to the East though.

In any case, he does have some untapped skill, and I like him in a third line role more than AA. To me, AA is a top six guy who isn't good enough to be in the top 6. One of those no man's land players.

Rather go after domi than AA if they aren’t going after a bigger name player

Rather have someone who can play c in the middle 6

I like Bjugstad filling Helm's spot as 4C if Helm's done but I haven't seen him enough to know if he can PK like Helm. Can he?
I know JP has untapped talent. Worth a shot if the price is low enough. But if McDavid and Drai couldn't unlock it, I wouldn't hold my breath.

There is speculation jp could be on waivers soon. Once they have to Yamamoto they will be in a roster crunch.

I think AA would look great next to Newhook and Compher, FWIW, probably won't cost more than a 4th unless he's retained. All he does is create but doesn't play with linemates who can finish

My biggest concern with domi is he won't accept the 3rd line role he will be given. Multiple teams have tried him at 2C, arizona, montreal & columbus and he doesn't seem to work and when stuck 3rd line he gets upset and asks for trades. Carolina brought him in for a push last year and he didn't really gel with them and really only noticeable in one or two playoff games. i think he's a bigger risk than AA, and we have plenty of players who are able to play middle c right now. If we need to go after a 2C then we shuold just go after someone who is primed and ready to play it over having a 4th 2W/3C

Bjugstad PKs in AZ. He leads all their forwards in TOI . Is he as good as Helm? Idk. But he's certainly an option for the role, which is important.

In terms of JP over AA, I'm a believer in bottom six forwards being defensively responsible. JP is a very good even strength defender. AA is really bad. Even if you convince me the latter may bring more points, which I personally think is possible but certainly not guaranteed, I'd still be more in favor of the former.

I dont really like either Domi or AA, but if they had to trade for one, rather have the guy who can play Centre and roll the dice on that.

It’s tough to say, his 3m aav will be tough for teams to claim, I think he could go unclaimed bc of it,

So many teams are working in Ltir money, tough to make a claim if they might have to trade a guy off their roster if they get get healthy and off their ltir

You almost want him to be claimed by a team like yotes or ducks who will flip him at the deadline for a free asset bc they can retain 50%

I'd wait on JP and if EDM don't qualify him (assuming he finishes the year out with them) then go after him. His QO next year will be too high. AA I like the idea of if it's near to time up on the TDL and nothing else is cooking but I think a third and sixth is too much. A fourth should be enough, third if they're retaining.
