15 years ago today, True North Sports & Entertainment announced it had bought the Atlanta Thrashers, signalling the return of the NHL to Winnipeg #Hockey365#GoJetsGo
@lvhaag@NHLRumourReport No idea what street you’re on. That’s not true. Only thing that’s decided on is that it wont be “Atlanta”. It’ll be “Georgia ____”.
In this situation, there’s just not enough interest for two different groups on the same project - one for the arena and team. It’ll have to be all or nothing. I get what you’re saying but just the reality here in Georgia.
Krause owns the land so maybe if he allows another entity to fund/own the rink he could pull it off. Truly, he just wants to be the only owner of the team, the man loves hockey.
The other group, still don’t see it happening at all in any circumstance, but we’ll see
@ScottXfan@Ria_Martin@680TheFan This is the only thing that matters. If the price didn’t go up so sharply and quickly, Krause would have a team. It’s also not 2 to 3, it’s 4 to 5 after the arena and other costs. Crazy money
@ATLHawks The Thrashers organization expresses its disappointment in the NBA’s decision. We fully support the Atlanta Hawks on this matter and have no further comment at this time.
Panarin trade fell apart last minute at the league office due to clerical issues. #GoKingsGo was seen as his backup option, and ultimately waived NMC to get a deal done before the roster freeze.
