Kevin Allen (of USA Today) Says Smart Things about the Thrashers

29

From the article: "There is considerable optimism in Atlanta about their chances for success this season, although they need everything to go right to have a strong chance. They've had some bad luck early because rookie Patrice Cormier, a hard-nosed center who was a lock to make the team, will be out six to eight weeks with an injury. That could mean that center Alex Burmistrov, their first-round pick could start the season with the team. He's a high skill, magic-hands center who needs to add some weight and strength."
