Detroit Red Wings forward Andreas Athanasiou is weighing an offer to move to the Kontinental Hockey League, his agent told The Athletic Detroit.

Darren Ferris told The Athletic "I have received a considerable offer that is significant."

Athanasiou, 23, is a restricted free agent with the team this season and has had contract talks with the Red Wings throughout the summer, but the two sides have not come to a deal.

Last season, he had 18 goals and 29 points in 64 games despite averaging only 13:28 on ice per game. His average time on ice was one of the lowest for players who regularly played with the Red Wings.
