Miscellany: The Thrashers, in 14th place in the Eastern Conference, are 8 points out of first in the mediocre Southeast Division . . . It may not pay immediate dividends, but the Thrashers cashed in by dealing Marian Hossa to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline. Colby Armstrong, who played on Sidney Crosby's line, and Erik Christensen are young roster players, and the Thrashers received Pittsburgh's first-round pick in 2007 (Angelo Esposito) and a first-round pick this year.
