The Oilers got him!!
Per TSN Radio and a guy named Gord from TSN!
Apparently it's for Gagner! Cap management!
Two second round picks.
From the Oilers:
The #Oilers have acquired forwards Andreas Athanasiou & Ryan Kuffner from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Sam Gagner & two second-round draft picks (2020 & 2021). In addition, Edmonton will retain 10% of Gagner's salary.
2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Micah Blake McCurdy @IneffectiveMath
Andreas Athanasiou (to Edmonton) is a strong driver of offence both at 5v5 and 5v4, with a good-to-very-good shot and an extremely good penalty differential. His defensive weaknesses are much smaller than commonly supposed.
Surprising honestly. He just plays on a team with management intentionally tanking and no goaltending. Hopefully he clicks with Mcdavid.

Two 2nd round picks for AA from Oilers.
Reasonable, considering it's not just a rental.

Yes they have!! Good on your being the first one!
For Detroit 2 second rounders I hear..

I like this. AA (I'm not learning how to spell that) is under team control for two playoff runs while the second rounders wouldn't help for 3 or 4 years, best case scenario.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Craig Button doesn't like this deal. Thinks AA plays with blinders and will just be lost playing with McDavid. Too individualistic in how he plays.
Colour me surprised! Button doesn't like something about the oilers!

He just got tanked, so he'll come in from a weak bargaining position. Guessing he'll take what he made last year. Fantastic deal.

Okay, the pay is higher but not crazy. Thanks for your second spin 89!

hahaha.
Sorry, have to add more Button-ness. He put up his prospect list for the Oilers and Bouchard is now a B level prospect on his rankings, exactly the same as Samorukov. Broberg is A-.

oooh, more cap space opened.
Can bring gags back for 1M or something in the summer if we really want him around.

One stop shopping. What else are the Wings selling?
I'm excited to see him in the lineup. Now I need to practice saying his name.

I feel like this Sam Gagner trade is better than the first one.

Wish Button would just Button it up when it comes to the Oilers. He's so blatant about it. This deal shows some real promise! Hope it leaves Button blubbering. I do feel bad for Sam, not being able to continue the ride with the Oilers this season.

Gosh, business is business but I feel bad for Gagner. I really like his character, but he always finds himself on awful teams.
Clean house or bust

I am liking this deadline more than any since the cup run. Better on the back end and front end. Hopefully both goalies stay healthy. If they do, and we don't bomb these last few games, this team makes some noise in the playoffs.
5 Cups and counting.

I am stunned! Get a young, speedy,skilled, former 30 goal guy who's having a bad year for in my opinion not much. Seconds if they work out are 4 yrs away. Plus they have control.
There is your winger for McDavid and you can keep your Dra line together. I love the deal.

At the least it looks like he will fill the "playing with mouth piece hanging out" hole that Gagner is leaving.
The one that starts at 15:00. I hope we see that a lot with him and McDavid :)

Worst part of the trade is now having to try and spell Athanasiou correctly.
So in other words, really happy.

Terrific deal. Sad to lose Sam though. I really thought he'd be the kind of guy to turn it up big time during the playoffs ala Pisani. Oh well, a clear upgrade for the Oilers.

Flames fans hate it, so there's your indicator that it's a good move. Always liked his speed & forecheck.

I was just about to check what CP is up to. I imagine it’s a bunch of “overpay” and “he’s the green jacket leader, he’s terrible” posts.

We retain 315,000 of salary on Gagner.
Capfriendly now says we have 2.8M of "current cap space". Still enough for Hall! haha, but with no 2nd round picks and not wanting to move a 1st. I think this might be it. Saving a bit of space to absorb some of Smith's bonuses.

And the Eberle deal rises from the ashes and continues to live on!
Eberle -> Strome -> Spooner (though it was dead here) -> Gagner -> Athanasiou
Woot!
