Apparently multiple sources are starting to get word that Zerdev is not going to the KHL after all, rather he might be coming to the Atlanta Thrashers. This is interesting since he refused to sign with his former team , the New York Rangers. I wonder if this is going to make sparks fly in the NYR vs. ATL games we see this year. This definitely now makes some interesting line combinations possible for the thrashers.
Kovy-Antropov-Zerdev
Kozlov-White-Little
Peverly-Reasoner-Armstrong
Bouton-Slater-Thorburn
That is actually a rather competant looking team scoring wise and defensively as well. There are two deep scoring lines, one true shutdown line and another line that just hustles every time they are on the ice. Not to mention our defense looks vastly improved from last year we could really see a larg 15-20 point jump for the boys in blue. We have a legit top four defensive group finally and now the only question is who wins the goalie starting job. If everything is going as well as its supposedly is for Mr. Lehtonin, this could be a scary team when he comes back 5 games into the season. Hopefully Zerdev will come to the Thrashers, because for the first time in the history of this team, we might have too many top six forwards to deal with... and a much brighter chance of signing that imprtant man with the C that is #17.
