The Thrashers have brought in super talented winger jiri hudler from the phoenix coyotes. leaving the team are paul gaustad, jon matsumoto, and a 4th and 2 mill..
The team is really excited about the possibility of being able to put together a combination that is currently working in detriot in the nhl of fillpulla-hudler... The team thinks these two young wingers will rerate solidly with good offensive attributes and should play solidly together on a 2nd line next year..
also on the same night the thrasher made a huge move with the nyr in a move that saw 9 names and 5 draft picks change hands the deal looks like this
TO NYR: BRIAN POTHIER
BROOKS LAICH
BRIAN BOYLE
JAIME MCBAIN
MARTINS KARSUMS
TO ATL: HENRIK TALLINDER
JOHAN FRANZEN
DAL 1ST 08
DET 2ND 08
CGY 3RD 08
MIN 4TH 08
MIN 5TH 08
also in the deal is niklas kronvall for jan hejda but that is only until the end of the season in a cap saving move by atlanta...
When asked about the deal G.M Shuck had this to say.. "We HAVE THE DETRIOT REDWINGS NHL YOUTH 2nd LINE OF FILLPULLA-FRANZEN-HUDLER, the team is very excited... hahah but on a serious note I think its a win, win for our team.. a win for now and a win for the future.. We upgrade from Pothier to Tallinder we upgrade from Gaustad to Franzen. We did give up some solid young players today in Boyle, Mcbain, Matsumoto, Karsums, Laich.. but we did get a kid we think could become a premier player in jiri hudler along with a draft pick in each of the first five rounds in next years draft. The first is currently in the top 7.. The organization is very happy with its depth along the blue line and its recent addition to the net with Razor Ray Emery. our blue line currently has 83-79-76-76-75-75-74-73-72. with 81-80 goalies. In recent weeks the teams defense has struggled the recent additions weve made from management are what the team needs to make a big push in the playoffs. with limited cap room avaible the team might be stuck with its current lineup until the offseason.... But who knows the team never feels like it cant improve.."
All in all it was a good night for the thrashers..
