		But Curt Fraser had the inside track with the man who was doing the hiring for the Atlanta Thrashers.
		Fraser was a feisty, aggressive left-winger during a 12-year NHL career, scoring 193 goals and racking up 1,306 penalty minutes while playing for Vancouver, Chicago and Minnesota.
		Fraser, who signed a three-year contract, takes over a team that figures to struggle for at least a couple of seasons particularly at the offensive end of the ice.

	Tony Tanti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tony Tanti still holds the Ontario Hockey League rookie record for goals, scoring 81 in 1980-81 with the Oshawa Generals.
		He was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks as the 12th overall pick in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, but was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for feared fighter and able scorer Curt Fraser during the 1982-83 season.
		As a junior with Oshawa, Tanti had broken scoring records set earlier by Wayne Gretzky, and Vancouver fans were hoping he'd bring that scoring touch to the west coast.

		Fraser, who has a history with general manager Don Waddell, has been the Thrashers' only coach since they joined the NHL in 1999.

		From 1978-90, Fraser, 43, played in 704 NHL games, recording 193 goals and 240 assists for Vancouver, Chicago and Minnesota.

		Curt Fraser is much like anyone and everyone associated with the NHL in that he's itching for hockey to get started.

		Fraser was the first head coach in Atlanta Thrashers history and spent three-plus seasons (1999-2000 to 2002-03) with the club and guided the team to a 21-point improvement over the team's 1999-2000 inaugural season by compiling a 23-45-12-2 record and 60 points in 2000-01.

		Fraser, a serviceable player during a 12-year career with Vancouver, Chicago and the Minnesota North Stars, was a successful minor-league coach who brought his lunch-bucket mentality with him to his first NHL coaching job in Atlanta.

		Fraser wasn't the one coughing up the puck twice in the third period on Tuesday against the Panthers, leading both times to breakaway goals by Kristian Huselius that erased a 2-1 lead.

		Fraser could bench press 400 pounds in his prime too, monster strong for his size.
