from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
There’s no hurry to move Kovalchuk, but this spring’s draft has a couple of sure-fire building blocks at the top of the class, and Kovalchuk, whenever he is moved, should offer a decent package of top-end prospects, top picks and at least one position player. Given the sorry state of the current team, there’s no reason to drag out the process. Might as well start building now as opposed to next summer or the summer of 2010.
As for alienating fans, it’s far too late to worry about that in Atlanta; the question is who should be pulling the trigger on what will be the franchise’s most important trade.
more on the Thrashers, plus Norris Trophy talk, Jeff Carter too, and yes, Sundin and Avery thrown in…
