Steve Yzerman wasn’t touting anything Monday, as the Wings finished trade-deadline day with a handful of picks — a couple second-rounders and a fourth-rounder — while giving up one-time prime prospect Andreas Athanasiou. Yzerman sounded satisfied, all things considered, and he should be, despite the price.
