The Detroit Red Wings have traded forward Andreas Athanasiou and forward Ryan Kuffner to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for two 2nd round picks and forward Sam Gagner. It’s the second Red Wings and Oilers trade in the past day.

Do pageau trade
Forward Sam Gagner is also included in the deal, being sent with the 2nds from Edmonton to the Red Wings
I have no idea how Columbus didn’t offer more than this
Red wings claimed timashov!!!!
As a wings fan I’m excited for him, wish it was a first round pick too but two seconds isn’t bad
Loved this as a wings fan. AA's flashy talent is scary, but not a long-term piece and defensively a total ghost. Wings have 3 second round picks in this year's draft.
Hate this trade tbh. 2nd rounds picks have a ~25% of playing a single game in the NHL… why give up a second line player capable of scoring 25 goals a season for that? I think AA will do great in EDM; Wings Fans will end up regretting this trade. (Also… why throw in Kuffner for nothing? Can't figure that out.)
as a wings fan i’m good with this, we have 3 seconds now so potential to move up at the draft
Athanasiou and Larkin haven't really played together in the last while FYI. Athanasiou would've had more points on Larkin's line, but it would've been worse for the team
Fair deal. 2nd round picks can turn out really good. AA needed a change I think.
What Jersey are you wearing
I legit thought you were 10
Come on man, why are the oilers getting better we’re supposed to play them . Damnit
-45
Double AA is still only a minor leaguer / I have watched him for the time here in Detroit / should have call him Flash/ in the pan. can't and won't play Defense. BYE AA
Loving this trade but I don't think Athanasiou will end up on McDavid's wing. Carrying the puck is what McDavid does best. Maybe swap Yamo and AA.
what I wrote that Athanasiou shows that Detroit and Edmonton made a mistake in not understanding AA's talent .. 3 games for kings and 3 goals..
