The Reason for the Season

Woo Hoo! Good news in Blueland. The Thrashers re-signed Marty Reasoner to a 2 year contract. Marty had a good first season with the Thrashers scoring 14 goals and 16 assists. Finishing the season as a +11, he also had 1 shorthanded goal and 2 game winning goals.

In addition to his on ice success with the team, Marty was a hit in the locker room. He won the Player's Player award this season. An award voted on by his team members, Marty said it was one of the highlights of his career. Even though Marty is only 32, he will offer a veteran presence to the very young Thrashers team.

Marty also has some attachment to Atlanta since his daughter was born here.

Way to go Thrashers! We are thrilled to have Marty signed.



Also very exciting, the Thrashers signed Anssi Salmela to a multi-year contract. The Thrashers acquired Anssi from the New Jersey Devils when the Thrashers traded Niclas Havelid.



Keep up the good work, Thrashers!
