Center Andreas Athanasiou and the Detroit Red Wings have agreed to terms on a two-year deal for $6 million.

Athanasiou was a restricted free agent and held arbitration rights, so the Wings and the 23-year-old will avoid that process this summer.

At the end of the Red Wings’ season in April, Athanasiou reiterated his desire to remain with the Red Wings.
