The Atlanta Thrashers agreed to terms with
forward Andrew Ladd on Thursday.
Terms of the contract were not announced, per team policy.
The 24-year-old winger came to Atlanta from the reigning Stanley Cup champion
Chicago Blackhawks in a July 1 trade for defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy and a
second-round pick in the 2011 NHL Draft.
Ladd had spent the last two-plus seasons in Chicago after coming over in a
trade with Carolina during the 2007-08 campaign. He had 17 goals and 21
assists in 82 regular-season games for the Blackhawks in 2009-10. Ladd added
three goals and three assists in 19 playoff games.
Ladd has recorded 63 goals and 149 points in 321 career games with the
Hurricanes and Blackhawks. Ladd also helped Carolina win a Stanley Cup
title in 2006 and has 15 points (8G, 7A) in 53 career playoff tilts.
