Ben Shelley: Re-signing Andreas Athanasiou was the right move for Kings

I like the signing but I think he should have asked for at least a 2 year contract. He was one of the very few who tried last year and deserves some security.

I'm sure he did ask for a 2 year contract, but I don't think the Kings were willing to oblige. They have a lot of quality young kids that will be coming up the next few seasons that need the roster spots. If he continues to play well, he'll have no shortage of offers from teams next summer.

He’s overpaid for being a North - South skater
