In case you missed it the Thrashers have made 2 deals over the last 24 hours. The first deal sent Braydon Coburn to the Flyers for Zhitnik, a puck-moving defenseman. The second deal sent Glen Metropolit and a boat load of draft picks to St. Louis for Tkachuk. I sat next to Glen Metropolit and Dennis Hamel in the press box last night and I told the Star 94 guy I was chatting with that I thought it meant Glen would be on the next ship out via trade. Its a shame really as I liked the guy and I really liked giving JP a hard time about Metro's success here. That said he wasn't the key to the Thrahsers making a playoff run...
The scoop on these deals is over at
Southeast Shootout. The Falconer is treating us to some very fine breakdowns of what these players can do. Read and comment on it over there :)
