The Atlanta Thrashers have signed veteran forward Fredrik Modin to a deal on Monday, bringing in a veteran player to help turn the franchise around.
Modin, 35, played for Columbus and Los Angeles last year, scoring 11 points in 44 games.
Modin has also played for Toronto and Tampa Bay. In 2004, Modin helped Tampa Bay win the Stanley Cup.
In 858 career games, Modin has notched in 225 goals along with 227 assists. Modin, however, has failed to score more than 40 points or 10 goals in a season since 2007. Injuries were a key factor to his decline in production in Columbus.
The deal is good for one-year. Financial terms were not disclosed on press time.
Atlanta has not made the playoffs since being swept in the opening round by the New York Rangers in 2007.
