Thrashers Acquire McKenzie from Predators for Lewis

The Atlanta Thrashers have announced that they have acquired right wing Ian McKenzie from the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Grant Lewis. In 24 games last season with Milwaukee of the AHL, McKenzie had one goal. He also appeared in 24 games with Cincinnati of the ECHL, scoring three goals and two assists for five points. In 36 games last season with Chicago and Hershey of the AHL, Lewis had one goal and five assists for six points. There really isn't much to say about this trade. It's just a depth move for both teams and McKenzie and Lewis are likely to spend all of next season in the minors.
