Price is high, but as another poster mentioned the Oilers generally screw up their draft picks anyway. This is Holland handing the keys to someone else to drive him home at the draft instead of Oilering it up.
That being said, can we stop citing Athanasiou's +/- as a reason that this trade sucks? Sean Monahan is a -19 on a team with a solid winning record sitting in a playoff spot. If he were playing for Detroit he'd be a -45 as well.
