Ansar Khan of MLive: The Detroit Red Wings have Andreas Athanasiou under contract for two seasons at $3 million per. He’s been inconsistent and has had his name in the rumor mill.
If the Red Wings were to move him at some point, they’d be looking to acquire someone that could play now, preferably a defenseman, and not for a draft pick.
The Red Wings are hoping that hoping that Athanasiou can play up to his potential this season.
Athanasiou could see some time at center this year if Henrik Zetterberg is placed on the LTIR.
