The Atlanta Thrashers are looking at a major shake up. The Atlanta Journal-Consititution has learned that new General Manager Dave Cherniwchan feels his team is in need of a major shake up, to help rebuild the club's lack of draft picks, and prospects.
The team is shopping many of it's veterans, but when asked if there's a deal pending, Cherniwchan would only respond, "at this time of year, there's always contact with other GM's. But right now, we're happy with our line up for opening night."
Sources inside the dressing room tell a different story, as many players, mainly veterans, have been told the team is looking to move them. One player, who didn't want to be identified, stated Cherniwchan and Coach Bob Hartley, told him that he will be moved before the trade deadline. This player says he's been told basically, not to unpack his bags.
Cherniwchan took over the team, November 1st. And immediately made a trade with Tampa Bay to aquire big defenseman Jassen Cullimore. Without a doubt, Cherniwchan is looking to leave his mark but says, "this is something that's going to take time, and we're willing to work with what we got right now."
