Two good reasons


One of the few things to look forward to during late-season games are the chances to score autographs from call-ups.

And, while some of the call-ups are getting their gratuitous cup of coffee, others give team management a preview of coming attractions.

Atlanta's Boris Valabik is one of these players. A 6-foot-7 defenseman, Valabik was the Thrashers' No. 1 pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. That alone is deserving of a puck.

Having him sign the Slovakian team jersey, however, was a bonus.
