“Athanasiou was excellent,” he said. “He’s known for his offensive speed and breakaways, but he was consciously using that speed [when] back-checking, staying above his checks. He had a couple good sticks in the ‘D’-zone at the end, when they had the goalie pulled, because of his speed. And he closes quickly [on opponents]. . . . We’d like to see it even more.”

the media is just talking him up to try and buff his trade value. they want to sell him for more draft capital. trouble is, everyone's got the scoop on athanasiou at this point.Pop Zeus wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 2:13 am https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks ... m-lafferty

"In a puzzling move, the Tampa Bay Lightning today loaned forward Gemel Smith to the Henderson Silver Knights, the AHL affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights. Tampa’s affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, announced the news this afternoon. Smith hasn’t played with the Lightning this season, but has lit up the minors with 37 points in 35 games with Syracuse thus far. It’s unclear what, if any, compensation Syracuse might receive for losing their third-leading scorer to a different organization."

Thanks! At the time, it seemed like a decent return but long run, not so much.Fil Zaronek wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 8:49 pmGot a 2nd (Hanas) for himWingFanInA2 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 8:46 pm Speaking of ex Wings, what did we get for Jensen, a 3rd? UFA this summer and will be getting offers.
