The Detroit Red Wings continue their long-standing negotiations with restricted free agent Andreas Athanasiou and have upped the ante with a new offer.
Detroit has reportedly offered Athanasiou a two-year contract with an average annual valuation of $1.9 million, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie.
Athanasiou has scored 27 goals and added 16 assists during his tenure with the Red Wings.
While player agent Darren Ferris has mentioned the option of playing in the KHL, it is clear that both sides are working towards an agreement to get Athanasiou back on the ice for the Red Wings.
