Don’t tell Eric Boulton Atlanta isn’t a good place for a hockey player. Boulton, a 31-year-old left wing who lives here year-round, re-signed with the Thrashers on Wednesday eight days after becoming an unrestricted free agent.
The two-year, $1.2 million contract is a $75,000-a-year raise and his first multi-year deal with the team he joined in 2005.
“It’s nice. We like it here. We wanted to stay here,” Boulton said. “I think Atlanta is getting a bad rap right now [from other NHL players]. Our fans are fantastic. You can’t ask for a better city to raise a family in.”
