Expected to join the LA Kings this week, Andreas Athanasiou’s history as a goal-scorer comes with enormous expectations at both ends of the ice.
Last week, the LA Kings made a small signing in terms of the salary cap and contract length. But Andreas Athanasiou enters Los Angeles two years removed from scoring 30 goals and 54 points. He followed that with a disappointing 19-20 season, highlighted by a -48 rating combined between the Detroit Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers.
“There’s a lot of offensive areas that we think he can help us defensively,” said head coach Todd McLellan after Day 5 of training camp.
