Let’s talk about a few Detroit Red Wings news from Elliotte Friedman’s 31 Thoughts, regarding Yzerman’s apparent asking price for Andreas Athanasiou, and a supposed interest from other NHL GM’s on Luke Glendening.

If Goodrow is worth a first then Green is aswell just saying šš
I am so happy that we were able to get timashov off trounto. Letās go red wings
I bet Stevie wanted a second round pick, Iām all for the rebuild and want as many picks as possible but Glendening is worth a lot to this team, so Iām okay with Stevieās decision
Longtime red wings fan here and can confirm, AA was not worth a 1st rnd pick, 2 2nds is more than fair value for an inconsistent 1 dimensional player who was never really going to be part of the future/solution.
Detroit should be fine in a few years, draft a star top 4, got a top 4 left shot defenseman 32nd overall (Ryan O'Rourke / Kaiden Guhle / Jake Sanderson) ext.. with the other two second-round picks hopefully get an energy right-handed forward like (Ozzy Wiesblatt / Kasper Simontaival / Justin Sourdif). Next year in the first round draft Star Goalie (Jesper Wallstedt)
Would have been upset if glendening got traded.
Yzerman shouldāve been the one that āheld firmā. Itās going to be real tough watching Athanasiou rack up the points in EDM, while weāre left holding a pair of late 2nd round picks.
We need an economy in which people have a chance.
Glendening scored an amazing SHG last time we were in the playoffs
Iād like to see him win a cup then come back home
Steve Yzerman wanted a 1 for LG? i hope that's not accurate, cause LG is just a 4 line player anyways. lol
Kenny Holland is such a beauty
Red wings will stink for years to come. AA was fun to watch when he cut loose
Blashill had him on the defensive choker chain.
Yeah, I donāt think Glendening is the type of player that we think absolutely has to go here in Detroit (like Ericsson). However, at this point in his career it would have been a win/win if he gets to go to a cup contender and weāre able to get some younger talent or good draft picks for him. Plus it would free up a roster spot for us to slot in a younger guy. Ideally probably someone like Veleno to line 2, and move Filppula and Nielsen both down one line.
Glendening is a leader and just solid. His work ethic is a model for all the young players. He is the kind of guy you want on your back lines. He can retire a wing in my opinion. Luv him. If he was traded for anything less than a 2nd i would have been bothered. He probably won't get that kinda value so just keep him.
Athanasiou seemed like he was looking for the door. Glad we got something for him.
