Moose returns
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In what looks like a deal that’s good for everyone, Thrashers general manager Don Waddell has re-signed goalie Johan Hedberg to a two-year contract.
Hedberg is a solid veteran goalie and not a budget-buster. For about $1.15 million a year, the Thrashers get a guy who:
—Can serve another season as Kari Lehtonen’s backup if the Thrashers decide Ondrej Pavelec could use another season in Chicago.
—Can serve as Pavelec’s backup if the Thrashers decide he’s ready and they want to trade Lehtonen.
—Can be midseason trade bait himself if the Thrashers decide Pavelec is ready for the NHL and they want to hold onto Lehtonen.
Hedberg says he and his family like the city and the team. That affection has been mutual.
What do you guys think of this?
