word came down today that nigel dawes has signed a one year, two-way deal in atlanta for $600K (aka: the kind of money the flames reserve for tree-shaped guys with fists who can't play).
in the same way that nobody really noticed darryl sutter become the calgary flames' executive VP last month, the thrashers have quietly cobbled together a pretty decent team, if you ask me. i mean, their goaltending is somewhat suspect but could totally work out... and with a motley crew of skaters that have been underappreciated like johnny oduya, dustin byfuglien, nik antropov, freddy modin, and htp favorite rich peverley, i have to admit they have the potential to do some damage. oh, and don't forget evander kane. that guy was named after a boxer, for cryin' out loud !!
i mean, the 2010/11 atlanta thrashers are like an afterschool special. watch 'em rally to a cup...
i'd be a pretty happy girl.
congrats, pocketdawes. i hope georgia treats you well....
;)

Oh how easily Calgary could have held on to him :(
I don't know any way to describe that deal except as a "bargain". The guy scored 14 goals in 66 games last year. At 25 years old! I disagree with the argument he's too small (he could eat an apple of Theo's head), and he's going to be way more productive than the garbage players we picked up to fill our 4th line.
All I can say is good luck Pocketdawes, I hope you kick some butt out there. Maybe you'll give me something else to watch after Xmas when Flames games aren't worth it.
we noticed...
i know you did. i think that's where i found out about it.
