Andreas Athanasiou assessed his giveaway bobblehead doll with a critical eye, deeming it to be “all right.”
The more intriguing question is whether a contender assesses and deems him worth trading for by Monday’s deadline. The Detroit Red Wings are in rebuilding mode and Athanasiou is a 25-year-old forward who can play wing and center and who scored 30 goals last season. That might entice a return of a high-round pick and prospect.
I like Athanasiou, but the Red Wings should absolutely trade him if the price is right.
