    • A New Position Created
    I try not to be too cynical about hockey's hiring practices, but there are often times where it seems like certain people were hired just because someone wants to reward that person for loyalty. We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owne...2026

    It became official today: the Buffalo Sabres will break their streak of fourteen seasons without appearing the playoffs thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins defeating the Florida Panthers, officially eliminating the two-time defending champions from the playoffs. The last time that Buffalo was in the playoffs was 2011 where the Lindy Ruff-led Sabres qualified as the seventh-seeded team and fell in th...2026

    I have no idea why anyone makes a big day out of Trade Deadline Day any longer. Everyone was making a big deal about how the Nazem Kadri trade from Calgary to Colorado was a "blockbuster", yet all I did was shrug my shoulders because Colorado added a third-line centerman. Yes, Kadri likely could play higher up in the lineup, but Colorado's lineup doesn't need him in the top-six forward group. For ...2026

    News broke early today as the PWHL decided to announce the dates and locations of their 2025-26 Takeover Tour stops. I received an email in my inbox that arrived approximately 30 minutes before the official social media blitz began, but the announcement that the PWHL was coming to Winnipeg to play at the Canada Life Centre felt like a big "finally" had been lifted off this city. Until this year's ...2025

    • This Reality Is Pure Fantasy
    It's hard to imagine that the NHL would ever find a home in Europe simply due to the NHL needing billionaires to fund teams and fans to fill arenas on a nightly basis where the sport is mildly popular in specific cities across that continent. Yes, there are lots of fans who come out for games played in Europe, but a European division in the NHL seems like pure fantasy as salaries continue to climb...2025

    I spoke a little about the goal of the ECHL's recent expansions in the article written Friday about Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and I spoke about how there were only three NHL franchises without official ECHL affiliates at that time with the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Ottawa Senators being those teams. The one-to-one ratio that the ECHL is hoping to eventually reach with NHL affil...2025

    Photo by Claus Andersen/Getty Images Canada’s dry spell could end this year. You’d be hard pressed to find anything innately funnier than Canada’s inability to win a Stanley Cup over the last three decades. The nation that gave us the sport of hockey, nurtured its culture, and provides over 40% of players in the league hasn’t had a team hoist the cup since 1993, when the Montreal Canadien...2025

    Rare are the players who spend an entire career with one team, let alone one franchise any longer. There will be some from this era who will wear that honour - Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and Connor McDavid all seem like locks - but finding guys further down the depth charts who fit that rare situation becomes harder and harder. Bryan Little technically fits the bill despite the Jets trading ...2024

Timeline

  • 2026
    "2008 saw a few known stars dealt on the deadline as the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis from the Atlanta Thrashers for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christiansen, Angelo Esposito, and a first-round pick."

  • 2025
    "When the Atlanta Thrashers relocated to give Winnipeg a team it was a rough slog for a while, but the team built slowly into a contender."

  • 2024
    "I'll give you a hint: they were formerly known as the Atlanta Thrashers."

  • 2023
    "It’s almost-assured the team will seek relocation, being the first since 2011, when the Atlanta Thrashers moved and became the Winnipeg Jets."

  • 2022
    "He has played for the Winnipeg Jets, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Atlanta Thrashers (who became…"

  • 2021
    "The Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets franchise is a fairly young organization, having been in existence since just the 1999-00 season when the team underwent its inception into the NHL."

  • 2020
    "Neither the Atlanta Thrashers nor the Nashville Predators would participate, being that they had only taken to the ice one and two years before, respectively."

  • 2018
    "Joe Morrow scored the winner halfway through the third period for Winnipeg, a franchise that was swept in both its previous playoff appearances after joining the NHL in 1999 as the Atlanta Thrashers."

  • 2017
    "The Blue Jackets are one of only two current NHL franchises that have never won a playoff series, along with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets."

  • 2016
    "The Atlanta Thrashers liked a lot about Kari Lehtonen when they picked him second overall in 2002."

  • 2015
    "He spent his first six seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets organization."

  • 2014
    "And that’s to say nothing of the teams that have overhauled their primary jerseys altogether, a list that (not including the relocated Atlanta Thrashers) encompasses more than a third of the league."

    In the NHL's history, we've seen a number of teams relocated to different cities for various reasons. There are the obvious franchise moves where teams move to new cities like the Winnipeg Jets moving to Phoenix, the Quebec Nordiques moving to Denver, the Hartford Whalers moving to Raleigh, and the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg. In all of these cases, the reasons for leaving were all simila...2023
