The Atlanta Thrashers like the style that Dan Cloutier plays. He is very competitive, very tough, and likes to fight. He does not tolerate nonsense from anyone just like a lot of his Atlanta Thrashers teammates. He is known to be a dirty goalie who gets a lot of penalties. Since the start of the franchise, Atlanta has been building toward the future, but with Dan Cloutier the future is now. He is another good French - Canadian goalie among many good ones. Dan Cloutier came to Atlanta in a 7 player and 8 asset deal. Dan Cloutier, Karel Rachunek, and Jesse Niinimaki came to Atlanta while Pascal Leclaire, Tom Poti, Roman Turek, Jeff Taffe and a rerate went the other way to Buffalo. Atlanta hopes that Cloutier is the answer to Atlanta winning the Stanley Cup.
