Reason for sadness?

By now you’ve heard it, but some Nation staffers were at lunch sans laptop, so here it is: TSN and other news agencies are reporting that free agent Marty Reasoner is going to be joining the Atlanta Thrashers. According to the story at TSN.ca, it’s an as yet undisclosed deal.

Seems like a lot of people are hot and cold with old Marty. Is it better for the Oil to have gotten rid of him, or will he be missed on the ice next year?
