    Question Give Rakell for Athanasiou++?

    What do you guys think of the speedy kid out of Detroit? Been offered him, a 3rd rounder this year, a third rounder next year, and Paul LaDue (?). What do you think I should do?

    Give me the 24 year old that just scored 33 goals in 71 games. Rakell is going to be a star for Anaheim's offense for years to come. They're getting older and Rakell will have every chance to be the go to guy for their offense.

    Athanasiou is see more as a 40-45 point player, Rakell I think will outpoint him every year for their careers while being a consistent 30 goal scorer. The picks (assuming rookie draft) and LaDue are just throw ins. Keep Rakell.

    Thanks! REP added. What if the picks were upgraded to a 2017 2nd and a 2018 1st? Maybe then? Think Rakell will still do good as Perry and Getzlaf age and slow down?

    Would you give Rakell up if I could get him to part with Werenski? Or too risky?

    I want to see Stuntman's view here - he loves AA and has watched him even more than me - TBH I have seen glimpses from him but think I still prefer Rackell unless those ++'s become hetter

    same. Weresnki is probably the most talented, Rakell should have a down year next season with his shooting % being so high this season but i favor him over AA.

    Werenski

    Rakell


    Athanasiou

    Try to get Werenski if you can. Don't bother with Athanasiou even if the other guy adds a bunch of other pieces.

    Sounds good. I thought he was more highly regarded, but wasn't sure. Thanks all!

    AA is an exciting player a fun to watch, yet it's not clear the opportunity will ever be there nor whether he could capitalize upon it to be a major fantasy asset. Meanwhile, Rakell is already a bird in the hand.

    Hard to say much since Rakell doesn't seem to match either sig, but as others have said....he's way above AA. Picks won't change that.

    I just joined a new keeper that I don't have room for in the sig, but it's the exact same setup as the second team in my sig.

    It really depends on what the ++ is.....but on the surface I would want Rakell assuming the ++ aren't significant.

    Although I would move Rakell for Werenski, I just think his ceiling is higher although I think CBJ played way above themselves this year and had that ridiculous PP% so should also realistically temper Werenski expectations a bit.....I've read some compare him to the elite 60+ point Dmen but I don't see him at that level.
