Whether Andreas Athanasiou gets dealt at the trade deadline remains to be determined, but the LA Kings forward hinted at staying beyond this year.
Signed to a one-year contract just days before training camp was set to open, Andreas Athanasiou has endured a lot in the 2021 shortened season. The LA Kings forward quarantined before joining the club in practices, scored goals in each of the first three games, and missed two-plus weeks with a positive COVID test.
But through it all, the 26-year-old has seven goals and seven assists in 26 games.
