Thrashers Re-Sign Forward Boulton

The Atlanta Thrashers announced today that they have re-signed left wing Eric Boulton to a one-year contract worth $650,000. In 62 games last season with Atlanta, he had two goals and six assists for eight points and 113 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Thrashers, as Boulton plays with lots of grit and toughness and is a good enforcer for the team. However, he doesn't have much offensive upside, so don't expect to see him contribute a lot to the score sheet.
