Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail: The Atlanta Thrashers are on their way to Winnipeg, the deal is reportedly done. Sources confirmed that an announcement will be made tomorrow to confirm the sale to the True North Sports and Entertainment group. Gary Bettmen is expected to head to Winnipeg to make official.
Pierre LeBrun via twitter: “I’m sure Thrash to ‘Peg will get done folks. It’s just not done yet.”
Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press: “True North Sports and Entertainment says a Globe and Mail report stating the group has reached an agreement to buy the Atlanta Thrashers is complete is not accurate.
A high ranking True North official involved in negotiations to buy the Thrashers would not say any more.”
