Atlanta Spirit, Canadians negotiate possible Thrashers sale | ajc.com
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported yesterday that the struggling Atlanta Thrashers NHL franchise was in talks with a Winnipeg based group. The topic being that of a sale which would relocate the teem to Winnipeg. This is good news as it appears that the Phoenix Coyotes will be staying put in Arizona for at least another year after the city of Glendale voted to cover the teams losses. Apparently True North has had it's eye on the Thrashers as a possible purchase. These rumours have been raised periodically over the years but seem to have been resurrected as of late. The Tuesday edition of the Winnipeg Sun is running a cover story entitled; "Headed True North? Peg group in negotiations to buy and move Thrashers." The Winnipeg Free Press also is covering the story on the front page of their sports section.
