What is Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre up to these days? I'm sure he'd love to play for the Thrashers.

So the Thrash get Brashear as well?
This is starting to feel a lot like that HBO show OZ. When Emerald City transfered all their white guys out, and brought all the black inmates in from other units. |

Apparently Brashear is not Black enough and has been bought out by the Thrashers.
