Talks have resumed between the Detroit Red Wings and restricted free agent Andreas Athanasiou, but it's unclear how much progress has been made.

Wings general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press on Tuesday that he has “talked to Athanasiou’s agent a couple of times in the past few days.

“Nothing has changed.”

Darren Ferris, Athanasiou’s agent, said in a text message that there is “no update at this point.”

The Wings open the 2017-18 season Thursday at Little Caesars Arena. While Athanasiou has held out, prospect Martin Frk has come in and grabbed the opening intended for Athanasoiu.

Other Ferris clients have ended standoffs this off-season. Columbus forward Josh Anderson ended his holdout Monday and signed a deal that had been on the table since August. Calgary forward Sam Bennett signed a contract Sept. 6 that had been on the table for a month.

The Wings have been in talks with Athanasiou since July. They have offered him a 1-year deal around $1.25 million (after which he will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights) and a two-year deal with an annual average value of $1.9 million. In a meeting that included Holland, Athanasiou and Ferris in Toronto on Sept. 16, Athanasiou was told he’d be a top-nine forward and get time both on a power-play unit and a penalty-killing unit. There was no contact between the two camps for the next two weeks.

Athanasiou had 18 goals and 29 points in 64 games in 2016-17. He has 27 goals and 43 points in 101 career NHL games.

The Wings' offer is in line with a comparable young players like Toronto’s Connor Brown. Brown, 23, has 42 points in 89 games and just signed for three years with an average annual value of $2.1 million (the AAV is a bit higher because he agreed to a third year).

In August, Ferris said Athanasiou was entertaining an offer to play in Russia with a Kontinental Hockey League team. The KHL season started Aug. 21.

Roster update: Forward David Booth and defenseman Ryan Sproul both cleared waivers. Sproul was assigned to Grand Rapids. The Wings will carry 22 players to start the season: Forwards Justin Abdelkader, Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan, Booth, Tomas Tatar, Luke Witkowski, Anthony Mantha, Henrik Zetterberg, Luke Glendening, Martin Frk, Darren Helm, Frans Nielsen and Dylan Larkin; defensemen Nick Jensen, Mike Green, Jonathan Ericsson, Niklas Kronwall, Xavier Ouellet, Danny DeKeyser, and Trevor Daley; and goaltenders Petr Mrazek and Jimmy Howard.
