In after draft trading the team has moved around some pretty key peice's but likes where it is currently at and heading in the future.
Deal 1: martin Skoula- zybnek michalek- tj BRENNAN- John Armstrong, 1 mill from the phoenix coyotes coming to Atlanta. but leaving town are paul martin-radek martinek, sj 3rd 09. G.M Response- With us having our top 4 set now with Chara-Ranger. and Zubov-Zanon paired up. we felt we could downgrade on martin who is UFA at end of his deal. With ballard-boynton i expect alot more from michalek this year aswell..
Deal 2: to Ott- skoula-sj 6th 09 to Atl- jeff tambellini- 500k
G.M Response- Dont think Skoula's rates deserve me to start 7 d-men so moved him for youth.
Deal 3: To Mtl- Shane Doan 750k --To Atlanta- Temu Selanne- Tb 1st G.M Response- With our talent up front we want to make sure we tag Zubov this year. We like getting a good rated player whose cheap and a solid pick..
Deal 4: To Atlanta--Wolski-Clb 2nd To La--TB 1st-brennan-lundin-bos 7th
G.M Response- We think Wolski is a stud. We did give up good defensive prospects and the pick could end up very high so we could end up regretting this..
Deal 5: TO Phoenix- Jeff Tambellini To Atlanta- Mark Mittera G.M Response- I like the deal as we moved two solid defensive prospects for wolski we wanted to get a good d-men prospect back
