The Thrashers traded prospect Jordan LaVallee-Smotherman to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday for future considerations.
The forward, a fourth-round draft pick of the Thrashers in 2005, was sent to the team's AHL affiliate in Chicago during training camp. He appeared in four NHL games for the Thrashers, over two seasons, with one goal and one assist.
He recently changed his last name from LaVallee to Smotherman.
