Some of us here at the Chronicle (or as I like to call it TBC), including myself, have been a little critical of some out of town writings on our boys in blue. While it was indeed called for, let's try to keep the glass half full and point out some positives when you see them. Take our new beat writer Chris Vivlamore at the AJC for instance.
Obviously he is not an out of town reporter, but his coverage of the Prospect Camp has been some good reading for sure (I mean, AJC hockey coverage in July... way to go!). He does a story here on Esposito. He does one here on Kane. Yet another article here about Klingberg. And just today he has written another piece about Big Shooter's new favorite, good American boy he is, Jeremy Morin.
We've taken a few shots at the AJC over the years, but I think Chris has done a fine job writing stories about the Thrashers since he has taken over. Very insightful stuff on all the prospects... I encourage you to read them if you haven't...

That's actually extraordinary. The AJC hasn't been this thorough since it covered Dixie like the dew.
That Klingberg is an exotic beast for sure. I think he's my favorite of the prospects, after Kane.
I don't our top 3 from this draft are pretty cool. All three really nice, interesting guys
I don't know* our top 3*, ugh my keyboard..
Always blaming others...
Chuckle at the "exotic beast" comment...he seems like a Swedish Colby Armstrong who takes nothing too seriously.
Spencer "Macho-check" Machacek seems like a personable fellow as well with a keen "goof-ball" sensibility about him that is easy to like.
Hard not to be a little bit giddy about this current crop of prospects with the recent successes of Bogosian and Little elevating our collective expectations.
Carry on with the shenanigans...
