Antropov deal looks to be done

Geez, we’ve been a little busy in Blueland the last two days, haven’t we?

Looks like the deal for Nik Antropov is done, just waiting for it to be officially announced by the team. Looks like this is the top-6 forward the Thrashers wanted this offseason. Four years, $16 million are the terms.

Keep letting me know what you think of the deal.

Heck, they even re-signed Chris Thorburn to a multi-year deal Thursday.

Help me out with what’s next for the Thrashers. My question still remains.

If they acquired a top-4 defenseman, at least for one year, via trade without losing one of the three goalies and now they have a top-6 forward via free agency – what will they do with at goaltender?

Surely all three won’t be here. Who stays and who goes?

I’d like to see Samuelson as well. He had great leadership capabilites.

I think Detroit is going to try and sign him, especially since they no longer have the financial burden of Mary Ann Hossa hanging over their heads.
