I'm going to shamelessly piggyback on Craig Custance's AJC blog post to point out that Erik Christensen is going to be out for a little while and Boris Valabik is getting called up shortly (I'd tentatively expect him in the lineup on Wednesday).

I really like what I've seen from Bryan Little since he got here in February and with the way he and Christensen have played, along with Perrin, I'm not sure there's a pressing need for a top line center next season as people have been saying all year. Don't get me wrong- if one were available that would still allow the Thrashers to address other needs I'd be all for it, but the young guys have stepped up and are showing that they can get the job done. That's great news as it allows management to focus on other more pressing areas of need over the summer.

In other blogging news, I'm becoming a fan of Thrashers 411, and not just because they're sticking up for the Thrashers. They have a good team of writers and they do their homework. Whether you like what they have to say or not you can count on their work being well written and carefully researched when necessary. Good for them.
