Thrashers sign Reasoner
The Thrashers have agreed to terms with former Edmonton Oiler center Marty Reasoner. Reasoner isn't a top-flight scorer (his career high is 34 points) but he's a solid complimentary player and a strong penalty-killer. He led Edmonton forwards in short-handed time-on-ice (TOI) and that says something considering Edmonton had the fifth best PK in the NHL last year.Atlanta was brutal shorthanded last season and that's where Reasoner's going to play a big role.
He was 13th in the NHL among forwards in total ice time on the penalty kill in 2007-08 and has been a solid defensive player for a few years now.

I like Reasoner he gave a good effort every night, but I'm glad he's not coming back to Edmonton. If I had to watch one more powerplay flounder with him out there I was going to scream.
I'm sad to see him go, but I guess it was time. Too many kids looking to take his spot, and I'd rather see him move on to a team that needs him than to see him twiddling his thumbs in the press box for 50-60 games for the sake of "loyalty."
