Atlanta Thrashers

By chuqui Pittsburgh Penguins (1) (but the atlantic's the tough conference in the east) Washington Capitals (3) -- I really, really like this team this year. Atlanta Thrashers (14) -- not going anywhere this year. New York Islanders (14) -- if they go anywhere this year, it'll be in reverse.

By chuqui Some guys, unfortunately, just can't seem to catch a break, no matter how productive they are outside of the NHL. Darren Haydar, who was just cut from the Atlanta Thrashers, is one such hard-luck player who hasn't been given his NHL shot, despite minor league dominance.
