Sources: Blackhawks re-sign Andreas Athanasiou to 2-year extension
Posted June 07, 2023 1:00 am
Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the Blackhawks have agreed to a two-year, $8.5 million contract with forward Andreas Athanasiou.
The 28-year-old Ontario native had 20 goals and 20 assists last season for the Hawks and made $3 million on a one-year deal.
Athanasiou is one of the fastest players in the league. He has 125 career goals and 111 assists in 459 games.
"You don't really get to pick and choose where (you go)," Athanasiou said when asked if he'd like to return at season's end. "Anytime you get an opportunity to play in this league, it's an awesome thing. Obviously that's in my head (to come back). I'd love to be a Blackhawk, for sure."
