Waddell Looks At Thrashers As Buyers

from Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

Q. Is your phone ringing? Or are you making phone calls?

A. It’s a combination.

Q. Is a deal likely?

A. I can’t say that. There are so many teams that are still in [the playoff race]. So the amount of players being shopped is pretty limited. It works kind of the opposite way. When you have limited players, the values go up quite high. Right now, I can’t say whether we will do something or not. Certainly we will pursue every angle and see if there is something out there. Remember we made trades prior to every one else (Ilya Kovalchuk, Kari Lehtonen). The changes that we’ve made, I think, have been very positive for our hockey team. You want to make sure you don’t mess up the chemistry of your team either.

Q. Would you categorize yourself as a buyer or a seller?

A. More a buyer than a seller.
