Let's take a look on the roster(including players who were to join the team since 2012/13):
GK:
Kasper Hvidt - Still one of the best GKs, but quite an old one. I don't really know what is his next destination. I would like him to join Bjerringbro-Silkeborg which will miss Landin very much and need big GK for Champions League.He's told to be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG.
Steinar Ege - 40 year-old Norwegian mentioned he's thinking about retirement. Maybe one more season, at least in home country?Nothing new unfortunately.
LW:
Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson - Before the fall of AG he signed contract with THW Kiel after one great season in Denmark.He had found the team before
Stefan Hundstrup - Not really a international star, but solid winger for the middle-tabled teams. I think he'll join one of them or go to some bottom team in Bundesliga.No updates, but he isn't international star and his new contract could be unnoticed.
Fredrik Raahauge Petersen - Was signed to replace Sigurdsson, now he may return to Silkeborg(played them last couple of seasons) to help the Champions League team. But after great performance at Olympics(also as backcourt player, not only LW) he should have other offers too.And he got possibly better offer and will join Hamburg which may win wildcard tournament and start in group phase of Champions League.
RW:
Nicklas Ekberg - Best scorer of Olympics could enter Kiel(has one RW) or Madrid(to replace Abalo and after selling Frenchman they should have enough money). But didn't know anything serious about his future.As I expected Kiel is trying to take him. Will see next days, but I think he has to agree.
Kasper Ottesen - Young Dane was only occasional player and he was going to leave the team no matter of financial problems. Propably will stay in Denmark.No updates, but he isn't international star and his new contract could be unnoticed.
LP:
Rene Toft Hansen - Had a contract for next seasons with Kiel already.He had found the team before
Henrik Toft Hansen - I've read he's already in Silkeborg and it's good move as he'll play again in Champions League.He had found the team before
Carlos Prieto - Tall defence specialist was going to be new player for next season, but I read he is already Kadetten Schaffhausen newest reinforcment.He had found the team before
LB:
Mikkel Hansen - One of two best handballers of today(with F.Jicha) is thought to be close to THW Kiel. But Paris is hunting him for sure and today I read also Polish champion Vive Kielce wants him(but this offer won't be so good financially as Paris' for sure).Despite previous declarations he will refuse to play outside the Champions League he joins Paris Handball.
Mads M. Larsen - Young, talented and already having powerful shot Larsen already signed a contract with one of Danish strong teams from Aalborg.He had found the team before
Lars T. Jorgensen - Experienced defense specialist is very close to sign a contract with some solid team in Denmark(Holstebro if I remember well).He's told to be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG.
CB:
Arnor Atlason - After solid Olympic tournament Icelander who can be also LB shouldn't have a problem to find a new job. Maybe Flensburg should think about him to avoid situation from their last Champions League performance when they had 10 players to play some match and sign some more top class back?He might be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG.
Snorri Gudjonsson - In contrast to his compatriot he played very weak at Olympics and he could be blamed for losing quarter-final as he got saved from 7-m in 60th minute. Playing in Denmark for very long time he might stay there I think. Silkeborg is in need for CB too.He might be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG.
Joachim Boldsen - He isn't this player who led Flensburg to Champions League final. Injuries and getting older reduced his skills of course. Since playing in Barcelona he's playing mostly in defence. Very heavy now(well above 100kg with height of about 1,88m) suffered a serious injury in Champions league last season and had to undergo a surgery. Now I have no idea where he can play next.He's told to be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG.
RB:
Olafur Stefansson - Icelandic legend showed he's still propably best in the world in passing, but at the age of 39 his physical form isn't that good as in the past. Don't know about the teams which are trying to get him, but in my opinion Hamburg would be ideal destination for him(Carlen is still injured or trying to get back, Lijewski is leaving after next season and isn't in the best relations with the officials).There is still no big rumours involving Icelandic legend. Also nobody said he might be in newly formed team. Maybe somebody knows anything?
Cristian Malmagro - ASOBAL's former MVP totally lost time in København and now most of Spanish fans propably don't remember him well. Adding very bad financial situation he will rather stay abroad. Maybe time to try in France as some Spaniards did(Entrerrios or Robledo)?And he did so even earlier what I missed. He may return to the top as new Montpellier player.
Kim Andersson - Biggest loser in all the story as he was on of the leaders in THW Kiel, now it's close to play in Swedish Kristianstad as I read. Or maybe Champions League winner would take him back?He might be part of new team of KIF København set by fusing Kolding IF and part of old AG, but also Hamburg is very much interested in signing him, so comeback to Sweden is very unlikely now.


Do you know something more, or do you want to share your wishes, let's write there!

Are you sure about Malmagro ?
It seems he have signed for Montpellier since june already, way before the troubles of AG.

Malmagro in Montpellier? I don't know, Metlicić is coming to Montpellier for RB. I know also E.Mamelund is also new LB to replace Bojinović(who was more used as CB last seasons).
But you're from France you may know better about Montpellier(especially because I'm not french speaker and don't read french websites).
If so, it would mean that this former star can return after lost time in AG.
Edit: Googled it and you're right. So I'll change also my summary.

I remember Stefansson saying that if he was going to play another season (instead of retiring,) it was going to be with AG. I don't like to make any assumptions about the man, but he is probably going to retire from club handball. Despite that, it wouldn't surprise me if he made himself available for the national team in the WCh next January.

It would be a shame, because his physical condition isn't that bad(wasn't losing most of the season due to injuries, of course had some and isn't so physically skilled as before, but for 39 not really bad) to force retirement. If so it's strange I've never read about this. This statement was before or after AG's end?

What do you think is the reason for him to retire? With his great passing abilities he could well play next 3-5 years on top level.

It was before the end. I'm not sure what's going to happen. He's always been vague about this kind of thing.

After serious injury of Petar Djordjić he goes to Flensburg. What a shame that injury led to this.
