From Mike Knobler of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Thrashers goalie Kari Lehtonen agreed to a one-year contract Wednesday but said he hopes to stay with the team for more than one more season.
Lehtonen, 24, said he got “a little raise” from the $2.2 million he earned last season but declined to be more specific. The Thrashers’ top goalie had been a restricted free agent, meaning the team would have had the right to match another team’s offer or receive compensation if it chose to allow another team to sign him.

Lehtonen is a talent, so it is a good sign that he wants to remain in Atlanta for the long haul considering the team appears destined for yet another non-playoff season.
