I te Pipiri 23, 2010, i whakawhitihia a Eager ki te Atlanta Thrashers, i te taha o Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel, me Akim Aliu, hei utu mo te 24th me te 54th katoa i te 2010 NHL Entry Draft, i riro mai i New Jersey, Marty Reasoner, Joey Crabb me Jeremy Morin. I te wa o te tau 2010-11, i tukuna e Eager tetahi whiu hopu ki a Colby Armstrong o Toronto Maple Leafs. I whakawhiwhia a Eager ki te rima meneti nui, he whiu tukinga mo te hiahia ki te whara ka peia mai i te keemu. I whakakorehia e te NHL mo nga keemu e wha na te mea i tupu. I waenganui o te tau, i whakawhitihia ia ki te San Jose Sharks mo te whiringa tuaono-a-rangi i te 2011
He aha?
