Thrashers make a Tuesday Afternoon deal with the Jets...
For the second time in about a week, the Atlanta Thrashers made a deal with the Winnipeg Jets. The deal breaks down to the following:
To Winnipeg:
2009 1st
2009 4th
Dustin Byfgulien
Toby Petersen
Tom Kostopoulous
To Atlanta:
Scott Walker
Todd Marchant
6.4 M Cash for this season
GM Sutaria had the following to say:
"We are very excited to add both Scott and Todd to our team. We are trying to win this year and adding both those players gives us more depth up front. We gave up a 1st in 2009 and a good prospect in Byfgulien but to add depth in this league you have to give up some good assets. Toby and Tom were caught in a numbers game and we wish them all the best in Winnipeg."
Thrashers lines now look like:
St.Louis (82) - Datsyuk (81) - Morrow (77)
Smolinski (75) - Brind'Amour (79) - Holmstrom (76)
