Andreas Athanasiou and the Detroit Red Wings General Manager, Ken Holland have not seen eye to eye regarding his new contract. What doesn’t help matters is the lack of cap flexibility the Wings currently find themselves in. Is the door open for the New York Islanders to land Athanasiou?
The left winger, Athanasiou is six-foot-two and 188 pounds. The fourth-round pick in 2012 had a nice year last season posting 18 goals and 29 points. Athanasiou has size, speed, and provides offense.
Right now Athanasiou is a young guy who brings secondary scoring to a team.
