Sujet: Nurse number known Detroit deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>AA costs more in money and in trade.</div></div>

You would think so on salary but...he's regressed this year. I think Max Domi was a good comparable when he had a big down year and only got 3.15 per on a 2 year deal 2 years ago. Athanasiou is having an even worse year than Domi did then. That was my comparable.

Also, on cost, Pulju and Samorukov is a pretty good haul. If Pulju gets playing time, he should be able to transfer over half of his Karpat scoring to post 30-40 points. And Smorukov has the talent to be a doog 2 way second pairing dman in 2 years. If Khaira can snap out of his funk he is a good 4th line player who brings a lot of grit. So, a decent haul, considering Athanasiou's regression this season.

As for why I want the guy since he's having a bad year...I just want to see him fly with McD. It would be exciting as hell. And Kass won't be far behind he has good boots.

If we're splitting hairs, add a 3rd or 4th pick. But I don't see more than this being needed.

Sujet: realistic no trades 1 major signing still in cap hell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorsCousin</b></div><div>Yeah maybe, in that case I'd probably target Colin Wilson instead. Somebody who can hold the fort down for 2 years until Benson proves he's ready. Then he can slide to 3C in a couple years. Also I'd want someone who doesn't want a NMC.</div></div>

I think these playoffs have tricked you to believe Wilson is getting a pay raise this year. lol

He is not a top 6 player and never has been. Good 3rd line playoff performer though. Won't solve the lack of production from anyone other than the McD/Drai line though.

I think EDM would be better suited to attempt to land some low key UFA's who won't be expensive but may really play hard for a new contract this year. Kind of like Chiasson did. I think Vanek is perfect 2M point scoring mercenary. Possibly Brassard @ 3.5-4M. Hagelin @ 2.5M and Ennis @ 1M could be smart cheaper pickups also.

You could get 2-3 of those guys for the same price you paying Wilson just about and I think they'd be better additions. Obviously convincing them to sign in EDM may be the hard part though.

Not to mention that EDM better be contacting TOR about getting Brown because that chemistry with McDavid is absolutely worth exploring. A 3rd rounder and maybe a prospect like Gambardella or whomever would get'r done.
