The Thrashers and recently acquired forward Ben Eager have agreed to terms on new deal, avoiding arbitration.
Terms of the contract weren't announced Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old restricted free agent played in 60 games last season with the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. He had seven goals, nine assists and a team-leading 120 penalty minutes, and then added a goal and two assists in 18 playoff games.
Eager was dealt to Atlanta on June 24 with forward Dustin Byfuglien and defenseman Brent Sopel by the Blackhawks for a package of draft picks and players.
