Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 1 hour ago, F.Michael said: By some accounts AA is a 'problem child' that Grand Master Y isn't willing to put up with, and might take less just to get rid of him. Yes, but trading off a 25-year-old coming off a 30-goal season for cheap just because he is perceived to be a 'problem child' seems rather silly. Could you imagine if every GM traded a player only because they were viewed as a 'problem child'...Patrick Kane for example? No, unless multiple assets are involved, and that includes a 1st or a top prospect, then there is really no need to trade him. I hope Stevie holds out for a great return or does not trade him at all, and I certainly hope he does not sell low, I'd be so disappointed in him, and I don't want that. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 I agree that Athanasiou should not be traded, unless there's a 1st round pick, or top prospect coming back. No rush to trade him, and no need to sell low. 3 LeftWinger, amato and nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 very disappointed in the return. 4th round pick? I know the conditions, but Green has to play 50% of their games as well. Holland is not going to allow that. PLUS we retained 50% salary? This pick should've been a conditional 2nd. Also, what was the point of acquiring a player who is on LTIR? Holland could've just kept Brodziak on LTIR himself and it wouldn't have mattered. Edmonton wins this trade. Is this revenge for KFQ? I agree with all your thoughts, AA better net us a 1st and a prospect or just keep him. Hopes to Daley, Bernier also going today. I see there may be some interest in disney.com, but honestly I'd rather trade Helm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this stage, Green is very much a player where you simply accept the highest bid. He also had a modified NTC, which typically reduces any potential return. 4 krsmith17, ChristopherReevesLegs, chaps80 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed...Now if AA were on his way to another 30 goal season - then damn straight we'd get a 1st rounder, but like many on this team he's underperformed.

If it's a 3rd - I'd be leery...If it's a 4th, or higher - then no thanks...Me thinks he could/should land us a 2nd round pick in either the 2020 draft, or 2021 draft.

When he is scoring, it's easy to overlook. People gushed over his two goal night vs Montreal, but quickly forget the absolutely LAZY giveaway that led to Montreal's first goal. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 When I heard Green was going to be traded, I thought, "What can we get for him, a 5th round pick?", so this is a better than I was expecting. I've never been a fan of AA, even during his 30 goal season. Because of the cap, I didn't think be would be on the team past his current contract. Mantha and Bertuzzi are RFA's, we need cap room to re-sign them. 3 hours ago, marcaractac said: In the end, the guy is a liability without the puck. When he is scoring, it's easy to overlook.

arag 308 Report post Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) AA gets injured rather frequently. I have watched him closely while he was a Red Wing and also his second game for Oilers. Did not see what happened to AA. He gets these mysterious injuries often. I wonder how is he going to perform after receiving a long term contact. Just hoping those two second rounders turn out to be better than him. Edited February 29, 2020 by arag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
