Kevin Allen from USA Today just tweeted that according to his research, nothing is even close to the word done. |

Now LeBrun and TSN also denying it's done. Globe & Mail jumped the gun hardcore. FWIW, LeBrun's sources are within True North. |

Someone in my Twitter feed said "Thrashers to Winnipeg sounds like it's about as done as Pegula buying the Sabres was in early Feb. "Done," but not done." That sounds about right, but still. |
