Rumors out of Atlanta are that the club is in talks to try and acquire a 1st line forward as early as today.

Additionally, UFA rights to players are available in Atlanta:

Eric Belanger
Bryan Smolinski
Niko Kapanen
Jochen Hecht - TRADED
John Pohl
Hal Gill - TRADED

Also:
Jay Pandolfo - 73 ov - 1 year @ 4 M - TRADED
Roman Hamrlik - 78 ov - 1 year @ 8 M - TRADED

These players are all available.

Pavel Datsyuk, Lubomir Visnovsky and Jan Hejda are all expected to be re-signed by the Thrashers. A Datsyuk deal is imminent while Visnovsky and Hejda are still at the bargaining table.

Atlanta has seemed to reach deals with Robert Nilsson and Kyle Brodziak who have become RFA's.

Backup goaltender Dan Ellis will begin talks this week on a new deal.
