How do you think the Thrashers did this offseason? Personally, I thought it was a bit sub-par. They didn't find a top-line defenseman, which I think is the one thing that's been holding the team back the past two or three years. And Rucchin is a far cry from Marc Savard. Then again, It'll hardly matter playing between Kovalchuk and Hossa.
Either way, I think the Thrash are gonna be a solid team next year. Lehtonen is a year older and a year wiser. Should be even better than he was last year, which would be nothing but a plus. And if he runs into injury troubles again, the Thrash now have a capable backup in Hedberg, instead of that useless hack Dunham. THis should be the year the Thrash finally get into the playoffs.

It'll be good to see the Thrash make the playoffs, and maybe Carolina will miss.
Hey, ya never know! ;D

Heheh. Not happening. Plus, the Canes got my boy Douggie Weight his Stanley Cup. Can't hold much of a grudge against them. I'm just hoping that the Thrash finish second behind them. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

Well, the Thrashers have odds to win the cup this year. Their points total has gone up ever since they've joined the league.

Hi SL.  I'm looking forward to seeing Bourret play. |

Bourret should be ready. I think what it boils down to for him is how he looks in training camp. If he impresses, he could end up potentially seeing a lot of ice time. He'd probably compliment Kozlov pretty well. Then again, he could also potentially be spending the season in and out of the minors if the team feels he could still use a bit more time.

Eventually, yes. He definitely has the talent, but he apparently just hasn't been able to put it all together yet. He'll probably get a call-up here and there this year, but I wouldn't expect him to be a regular until after this next season.
