Thrashers sign Johan Hedberg

Quote:
The Atlanta Thrashers have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with unrestricted free agent goaltender Johan Hedberg. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"We focused our attention on strengthening our goaltending and made Johan a priority because he competes at a very high-level and will give us the quality starts that will allow us to be successful," said Thrashers executive vice president and general manager Don Waddell. "We hold Johan in the highest regard and we're excited to add him to our line-up."

Hedberg, 33, posted a 12-4-1 record and a 2.67 goals-against average in 19 games with Dallas last season. He tied his career high with a six-game win streak from Dec. 2 to Jan. 9, notching a 1.64 goals-against average in that span.

Hedberg has posted a 66-67-15 record and 2.81 GAA in 156 NHL games with Pittsburgh, Vancouver and Dallas. He has earned a 10-10 record with a 2.31 GAA in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff contests. The 6-0, 185-pound netminder set career highs with 25 wins and a club-record 66 games with Pittsburgh in 2001-02. He also registered a career-best 2.51 GAA in 21 games with Vancouver in 2003-04.

It's not like he was in Dallas for long anyways. Only the one season.

Yep, if all goes well Hedberg will be the perfect complement to Lethy, we just hope he stays healthy (Letho I mean Toungue).
