Use Andreas Athanasiou As A Trade Chip?

11/18/2019 at 8:43am EST

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

With every game he plays in a Detroit Red Wings uniform, Robby Fabbri looks like the trade of the season. Which may lead Steve Yzerman to trigger another one....

What Athanasiou’s improved play does is give Yzerman options. He already has made three trades — for Fabbri, Brendan Perlini and Adam Erne. Those were minor moves, but Yzerman was adding guys he wanted to a roster he inherited. Athanasiou, 25, is a 30-goal scorer with a career 0.53 point-per-game average who could yield a top prospect to add to the rebuild.

more on both Fabbri and Athanasiou...

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.
