Krog, MacIntyre sign with Thrashers-Hawks and Islanders go on signing sprees

The bad news: The Canucks have lost 2 players to the Atlanta Thrashers. The good news: The players were Jason Krog and Drew MacIntyre. Krog was signed last year at free-agency by the Canucks. He had 86 points for the Manitoba Moose, but only 1 goal with the Canucks. The Thrashers also signed G Peter Mannino and D Joel Kwiatkowski. Kwiatkowski played the 2007-08 season with the Thrashers, but played last year in the KHL. Another team to go on a signing spree was the Chicago Blackhawks, who re-signed Aaron Johnson, Ben Eager, Troy Brouwer, Colin Fraser, and Corey Crawford. The New York Islanders were also very active today signing 4 players, including Mark Flood, Matt Moulsen, Greg Moore, and Greg Mauldin. Other players signed since my last post are Warren Peters, signed by Dallas from Calgary, and Brian Salcido, re-signed by Anahiem. Notice that Cam Barker was not signed by the Hawks. Gillis still has a chance.
