So much for Columbus. Ah well, he'll fit in well in Edmonton. Hope it's their first.

Once the Detroit favours stop, the Oilers will get back to making bad deals

They've acquired two of the worst +/- guys in the league.

Ugh. I like him. I hope the Oilers gave up a 1st or 2 2nds for him.

Probably a second.

Don't mind this for the Oilers since he can keep up with McDavid. But really they needed a stronger defensive forward more than anything, and Athanasiou is not that.

Damn between him and McDavid, that is some speed. He may suck defensively but that speed will be interesting to watch them play together. Wonder if Tippett(who is good with this) can help with Anthanasiou on the defensive front.

The Oilers acquired them to make the rest of their team’s +/- to look good

Athanasiou has a ton of speed and can keep up with McDavid. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a 70-80 point player for them.
