Report: Wings offering RFA Athanasiou 2-year, $3.8M contract

The Detroit Red Wings and restricted free agent Andreas Athanasiou remain at odds over a contract agreement with training camp now well underway.

The team has reportedly offered a two-year contract with an average annual valuation of $1.9 million, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

Earlier this month, player agent Darren Ferris said the option of playing in the KHL had become "more of a probability." But Athanasiou and his representatives were in Toronto on Sept. 16 to meet with Detroit general manager Ken Holland and "some progress" is believed to have been made, McKenzie adds.

In 101 games with the Red Wings, Athanasiou has scored 27 goals and added 16 assists, with 39 of those 43 points coming at even strength and in limited ice time.

Detroit's first preseason game is Tuesday against Boston.
