Marian Hossa was an All-Star twice in his two-and-three-quarter seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers.  While his stint in the Peach State was brief, the Slovakian forward made the most of it with a 1.12 Points per Game Average, which would be the highest mark of his career.  Hossa would finish 10th in Hart Trophy balloting in the 2006-07 season and narrowly missed out on a Second Team All-Star nod.  He would later win three Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks. 

Vyacheslav Kozlov played the first half of his career with the Detroit Red Wings, where he was part of the diverse team that won the 1997 and 1998 Stanley Cups.  After a year in Buffalo, he was traded to Atlanta, where he played the last seven of his NHL seasons.

The Atlanta Thrashers traded for Blake Wheeler in 2011 and the gifted playmaker has been rewarding the franchise with that decision ever since. 

Bryan Little has carved out a nice career in the National Hockey League since he debuted in 2007-08 after being taken in the First Round by the Atlanta Thrashers in the prior year.
