The Thrashers pick up players that NO ONE wants (Peverly, for one) and give them all the time in the world on the first line and on power plays. Heck, they even bring up every odd player from Chicago, and there they are on the power play, for goodness sake! I watched Slates at MSU all four years, and I can tell you, not only was he the most outstanding player around, he OWNED that team. I'd certainly like to see him get a chance to skate with some talent who knew what to do with the puck when he gets it to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973478613072681675.post-58351743235440687362009-08-27T15:29:21.368-07:002009-08-27T15:29:21.368-07:00Nice story.
