I just read the update with Daly. NHL is doing everything to try and keep it hidden that they don't care about Atlanta. They've done nothing to help us and when asked they make up unbelievable stories.

I feel for ya ASF.. just doesn't seem fair that does it. I don't know about Atlanta as a hockey market to be honest.. I lump it a little bit behind Nashville as Nashville has made big steps this year. I'm just so sick of PHX over the years ughhh.. I'm interested to see what finally comes of this..

What do you mean? Nothing is certain.

But this is not much.
It is just a tactful comment.
Negotiations could be in the works.
The other revealing article I've read is from Forbes, which basically says that if True North is willing to pay $170m - it may be done if there is no interested buyer in the Atlanta area. The Atlanta Spirit would sell the team for $110m, with the buyers also needing to pay a $60m franchise relocation fee.

It is actually in the better interest of the NHL owners to keep Phoenix and let Atlanta go, per article.

Don't be a smart ass. Keep your opinions to yourself or go ask that question somewhere else.

or what? lmao
Who is the balkan? For those that know, for months now, John Kincade has been claiming to know a mysterious buyer or buyers, otherwise known as "The Balkan", possibly interested in purchasing and keeping the Thrashers in Atlanta. They want to buy the Hawks and Philips as well. The cat and mouse game might be coming to a hault, and I believe that party is going to be revealed soon. Kincade has urged him to come forward. Who is this Balkan entity? Will he save the Thrashers? I'm awaiting the news!

If you're going to act like an immature little child you will be the first person I put on ignore. There is no need to troll this thread hoping my team relocates.
