Thrashers on the move?

[Captain Slack]

Didn't hear this myself, but they had a quick report about it during the 1st intermission report of the Flames/Oilers game.

Apparently, during the Hotstove, Al Strachan reported a group of Toronto investors are looking to buy the Thrashers & move them to Winnipeg. I don't know how accurate Strachan is, but if they made another report on it later in the broadcast, someone must think it's credible.

EDIT: Here's the Hotstove video I mentioned above. (http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/CBC%27s_Hockey_Night_in_Canada/Hotstove/ID=1284105111) Strachan makes his statement about 2:12 in.

It's not totally suprising except for I think Strachan is a make-up **** rumor whore.

I'm surprised TO investors would buy a team and stick it in Winnipeg.

I'm with you. Not sure this really has any legs. Especially since balsillie would have tried to buy them already

[Captain Slack]

He still might!! :D

You lost me at Al Strachan/Hot Stove.

That weasel is the worst "hockey person" on the planet.

Why not move to San Francisco and keep the name? A team called Bay Area Thrashers would be KILLER!! :toocool:

If any team ever moves to San Fran, they gotta be the Bay City Rollers.

OMG that just took me back in time. I still remember when the Bay City Rollers made their much-hyped American debut on Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell. :lol:

(this video appears to be from 1976, they actually made their debut here on his show in 1975)
