Customer Service

Well, hell, talk about results. I call for the Thrashers to bring Vitali Vishnevski into the fold, and kapow -- I emerge from a cross-country flight to find out that Double V is Atlanta-bound.

I liked Karl Stewart, but who'm I kidding -- I'll take Vish over one more grinder (and a couple picks) any time. The defense just got a pretty severe upgrade, and now a couple of my less-favorite defensemen can become trade bait.

Most importantly, though, is the solid evidence that Don Waddell is responding to my every desire. If I'd known it was this simple I would have exploited it long ago. So, Don, I'd like you to trade Andy Sutton and Shane Hnidy for Peter Forsberg, and Brad Larsen for Rostislav Olesz. And then give me a million dollars. Thanks.

I just don't get why Brian Burke didn't like Vishnevsky. I mean, as soon as Vital Fluids won his arbitration award, Burke was bitching about how 'expensive' he would be. I know Vish hasn't been a world beater, but he's rugged and solid defensively and $1.5mil is not an awful price for a guy like him. This deal def helps the Thrashees fill a need.

I guess it's easy to let guys like this go when you have Pronger and Niedermayer.

I just wish the Oilers had gotten their hands on him.
