edit: Also, Edmonton was in on Athanasiou? I wonder what the cost on him is? Great wheels, IQ and a great shot. Only 24 years old too. It would be just like Calgary to swoop in and pull the rug under Edmonton's feet again  |
Detroit is a young team in a rebuilding phase as well... it makes no sense to move out a 24 year that has 17 goals in 45 games. What would be the point of doing that?
I mean maybe the Oilers overpay... but guys like Athanasiou are the guys that a rebuilding team should be looking for, not giving away... now, if he was 29+ it would make sense...but he's 24.
