It really doesn't appear that Athanasiou will be signing with the Red Wings or in the KHL I am told...there is a possibility he could sign a short term deal in the Swiss league though...one that would let him out should his NHL situation become more clear...all of this is very fluid according to those familiar with the situation...

Montreal is involved, but for now appears more interested in Duchene and seeing that one through...The Kings, Devils and Senators are all interested....but the real team to look out for here may be...The Islanders....

Sources tell me Garth LOVES this kid and has called several times to keep up on his status.

more to come
