The Atlanta Thrashers have added Evander Kane to their lineup after picking him fourth overall at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. I really enjoyed watching him during the World Junior championships and I think that he could be a real asset.

I know a lot of people have been wondering if he’s coachable after some reports suggested he was hard to work with but I am hoping it’s just a matter of him being very competitive. I think a good coach could give him the direction he needs. He led the WHL with 23 power-play goals with the Vancouver Giants and I think that he has the potential to be a 40-50 goal player. I also think he could work well with Ilya Kovalchuk so, again, it will be interesting to see how the Thrashers fare next season.
