Playing career

After spending three seasons in the Canadiens organization was claimed off of waivers on November 29, 2005, by the Columbus Blue Jackets,[1] where he established himself into a leading two-way defenseman.
On July 2, 2008, the Atlanta Thrashers signed Hainsey to a five-year, $22.5 million contract.[2] He scored six goals to go along with 33 assists in his first season in Atlanta.
