Good points Chilly. Im not overly enthusiastic about this season too, although I am more than ready to be pleasantly surprised if they are good. I havent seen much of Hainsey so I cant really say much, but I also got the impression that he'd probly be a minus player on the Thrashers, although I figured he would probly be close to even. Wouldnt hurt my feelings if DeeDub left, but I greatly fear who the Atlanta (Lack of) Spirit Group would choose to replace him with. I havent seen much of Oystrick either but Ive been impressed, and the guys a worker and stands up fairly well from the youtube clips Ive seen. I havent really heard much about Oystrick making the jump but I wouldnt really be surprised if he got a call-up given some injuries. I halfway agree about the powerplay (I agree with the shot from the point) but with the Enstrom, Hainsey, Havelid and now Bogosian I dont know if I think therell be 4 forwards or not.

Someone Ive been wondering about though is Kulda. Hows he look? Atlanta had nothing but praise for his cup run performance, and from what Atlanta said it sounded like he was almost guaranteed a spot on the blueline in Chicago. Whats your take Chilly?
