Quote:
An agreement to sell the National Hockey League’s Atlanta Thrashers to a Winnipeg group which plans to relocate the franchise to the Manitoba capital is done.

Sources confirmed tonight that preparations are being made for an announcement Tuesday, confirming the sale and transfer of the Thrashers to True North Sports and Entertainment, which owns and operates the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and the MTS Centre arena, which would become the NHL team’s new home

There it is.

Looks like Phoenix is gonna stay in Arizona for longer than just a year now.

Good news for Winnepeg though.

So do they rename them back to the Jets? or do they keep them the Thrashers?

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.

Wow even more clusterfuck of stuff. Can we just get official word from the NHL or Atlanta for once?

Yeah, saw that yesterday from Dreger. Pretty sad that the group isn't even based in Atlanta.

So it's Globe & Mail and a dog and pony show saying it's done, and EVERYONE ELSE saying it's not

EDIT: SportsNet just parroting what Stephen Brunt (Globe and Mail) is reporting.

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.
