The best time to resign your pending Unrestricted Free Agents is before they become Unrestricted Free Agents. Sure, it may not cause any harm to let them test the waters and see what kind of money they could receive. Some guys have pie-in-the-sky numbers that can quickly be brought back to earth.
But hey, if you can get ink on paper before July 1st, it’s that much better.
Center Marty Reasoner has re-signed with the Atlanta Thrashers for two more years. (Source: http://thrashers.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=425054&page=NewsPage&service=page )
I shouldn’t have to tell you what Marty has meant to the Thrashers. He was – by far – our best penalty-killing forward. He won faceoffs, scored a fair number of goals (14 while playing most of the year on the third line), and brought heart and a veteran presence to a team which lacked both at times.
Marty probably won’t ever hit 20 goals in a season, but you can count on every goal he does score to be the result of his hard work and dedication to his teammates.
Marty, it’s an honor to have you back.
