The Detroit Red Wings who at the moment have a plethora of forwards will be entertaining offers on a handful of players to create roster space in the near future. Andreas Athanasiou’s name has been brought up in a couple of different media outlets as a player Detroit could have on the trading block.
It would be in the Detroit Red Wings best interest to keep Athanasiou along with granting him enough regular ice time to generate more offense consistently. Jeff Blashill similar to Ken Holland, has been loyal to a fault with his inability to rely on younger players to contribute by allowing lesser skilled players who have been in the league longer to play more minutes.
