Atlanta Thrashers Hockey Odds at SBG Global
The Thrashers had a very poor season a year ago against the hockey betting odds and the rebuilding process is underway. Hockey odds information shows that the team added defenseman Ron Hainsey, forward Jason Williams and forward Marty Reasoner in the off-season.
Hockey odds information shows the team lost forwards Mark Recchi and Bobby Holik in the off-season. About the only good thing that happened last year for the Thrashers was their trade of Marian Hossa. They got Colby Armstrong and Erik Christensen as well as Angelo Esposito in return for Hossa. The Thrashers still have Ilya Kovalchuk who can impact hockey betting odds at any moment. Atlanta does have some talent but beyond Kovalchuk it is inconsistent and rarely impacts hockey odds. Goaltender Kari Lehtonen is up and down and not reliable in terms of hockey betting odds.
The problems for Atlanta run pretty deep as this team made some major mistakes after they failed to make the playoffs a couple of years ago. They traded some younger players for older veterans according to hockey odds information and it did not work. Now Atlanta has few top notch prospects and once Kovalchuk becomes a free agent in a couple of years the team won’t have anything worth watching.
Hockey odds information shows a starting lineup that is the worst in the NHL. Kovalchuk will probably be on a line with Erik Christensen and Jason Williams according to hockey odds information. The second line has Slava Kozlov, Brian Little and Colby Armstrong according to hockey betting odds information. The third line is probably looking like Brett Sterling, Todd White and Eric Perrin according to hockey odds information. The fourth line might have Eric Boulton, Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn according to hockey odds information. The defensemen are nothing to write home about either. The six starters according to hockey odds information look to be Tobias Enstrom, Niclas Havelid, Ron Hainsey, Zach Bogosian, Ken Klee and Boris Valabik. The two goalies are Kari Lehtonen and Johan Hedberg according to hockey odds information.
