Thrashers Re-Sign Forward Anthony Stewart

The Atlanta Thrashers have announced that they have re-signed left wing Anthony Stewart to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 77 games last season with Chicago of the AHL, he had 12 goals and 19 assists for 31 points and 67 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Thrashers, as Stewart plays with plenty of toughness and has some offensive potential. If he secures a roster spot with the Thrashers next season, it will likely be on one of the checking lines.
