fox* Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Recently the Atlanta Thrashers have acquired Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel, Ben Egar, and Akim Aliu from the Chicago Blackhawks. For exchange from Atlanta: Marty Reasoner, Jeremy Morin, Joey Crabb, and 2 first round draft picks of Atlanta. The Atlanta Thrashers have acquired forwards Dustin Byfuglien, Ben Eager and Akim Aliu, along with defenseman Brent Sopel from the Chicago Blackhawks for forwards Marty Reasoner, Joey Crabb and Jeremy Morin, as well as a first-round choice (24th overall) and a second-round choice (54th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Quoted by GM Rick Dudley of the Atlanta Thrashers: "This deal immediately improves our hockey club and adds valuable size, speed and Stanley Cup experience to our roster," said Dudley. "Dustin Byfuglien is a prototypical power forward and another young, rising star we are adding to our roster. With Brent Sopel and Ben Eager we also get a defensive-minded defenseman who is one of the better penalty killers in the league, and a tough, checking line forward who is an outstanding forchecker. Akim Aliu joins our stable of talented prospects." There wasn't much to say from the Chicago base of the deal. more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
