The Thrashers had an okay goalie in Lehtonen, but they traded him when he was 27 and got basically nothing for him. He’s not exactly an All-Star with Dallas, but he has been around an average goalie throughout his career. He was very bad this past season, but it was clearly a win for the Stars in this trade.
