Atlanta TrashOurYoungGuys

With Kari Lehtonen's departure to Dallas, the Thrashers have parted ways with their top pick in each of their first five drafts.

Patrick Stefan (former Dallas Star), the top pick in 1999, is no longer playing hockey and is a player agent living in Laguna Beach, Ca.

Dany Heatley, pick second overall in 2000, was traded away in 2005 to Ottawa and now plays in San Jose.

Ilya Kovalchuk, 2001's overall number one, was dealt away last week to New Jersey.

Kari Lehtonen, second overall in 2002, is off to Big D.

Braydon Coburn, the eighth overall draft pick in 2003, was shipped off to Philadelphia in 2006 in exchange for Alexei Zhitnik.

And the GM who has overseen all of this is still in charge of the Thrashers. Really.

Apparently “draft and develop” is a dirty phrase in Hotlanta.
