Thrashers/Panthers make a deal
Atlanta has done a lot of wheeling and dealing the last few weeks and it continued on Thursday. Atlanta and Florida made a deal that looks like the following:
To Florida:
2nd (buf) 2009 - 55th overall
prospect Jason Gregoire
F - Brian Sutherby
To Atlanta:
F - Frans Nielsen
We are happy to get Nielsen on the Thrashers. He had a good year with the Isles last year (33 pts in 59 games in his first full year in the league (and it wasn't even a full year). He provides a cheap contract for next year which will help us on our bottom 2 lines. We had to trade our 2nd round pick along with Gregoire who was picked in the 3rd round in the '07 draft as well as Sutherby who had 9 pts with Dallas last year.
