the thrashers continue with the building and have added solid vetern john graheme and young pk specialist patrick rissmiller, the team sent prospects igor volkov, anton hedman, mike morris and backup nolan shaefer.

the teams g.m kirk shuck had this to say after the deal.. "were really hoping that john and marc can give us some improved goaltending with the two of them splitting time, with the addition of salvador the overall team defense should improve. we think patrick is going to be a very solid 3rd-4th line guy with a high df rating and will be an asset to our team. In recent days we have been able to add Salvador, Stempniak, Andreychuk, Graheme all to our pro roster without giving up one starter and the teams management is extremely happy with the way our roster pro and minor are filling out."
