Welcome to Blueland, Pavel Kubina!
The Atlanta Thrashers got into the free trade frenzy today by trading a fan favorite, Garnet Exelby and (a personal favorite) Colin Stuart to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Pavel Kubina and the negotiating rights to prospect, Tim Stapleton.
Pavel is a 32 year old defenseman from the Czech Republic. He was on the All Star Team in 2004 and helped the Tampa Bay Lightning win the cup the same year by scoring 4 goals.
Last season saw him playing in 82 games and scoring 40 points. He's also 6'4'' and 244lbs, maybe he can give Boris some skate lessons for big boys.
There is an excellent write up on Kubina here:
