ANDREAS ATHANASIOU - Left Winger - 24 - $3MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 3/7/19
A former 4th round pick of Detroit in 2012, Athanasiou has been a solid contributor of depth offense during his tenure in Detroit. At 6’2, Athanasiou has size, though he isn’t overly physical. However, Athanasiou is a tough, high-motor, aware player, and he brings energy to each of his shifts. A good skater with OK puck handling ability but has above-average shooting and playmaking abilities. Athanasiou’s high compete level, skating, defensive awareness, and discipline could make him a somewhat effective penalty killer at the NHL level. Furthermore, Athanasiou’s skating allows him to score quick goals while on the rush, contributing to his consistent high-teen goal totals. If he can remain healthy, Athanasiou is a really good option as a speedy middle-6 threat, and at 24, he still has the potential to blossom into a top-6 level player.
