Commitment to Mediocrity Continues: Athanasiou Sits

10/13/2016 at 1:33pm EDT

By my count there are six forwards skating tonight in Tampa who will bring less to this team than Andreas Athanasiou would: Miller, Ott, Glendening, Helm, Sheahan and, yes, even Zetterberg at this point in his recovery from whatever multitude of injuries are besetting him with 14 years left on his deal.

I'm not as sold on Mantha. Frankly, I like the Ott signing. A lot. But sitting AA, arguably our second most explosive player, right off the hop, reeks of Ken Holland stagnancy.

This franchise is beyond frustrating at this point.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
