The Winnipeg Thrashers? The Saskatoon Moose?

Winnipeg broadcaster Scott Taylor has an interesting blog item. It reads as follows....

OK, here’s the rumour: Wealthy David Thomson of Toronto, the man who most of the shares of the MTS Centre and True North Sports and Entertainment in Winnipeg, has purchased the Atlanta Thrashers of the National Hockey League and will move them to Winnipeg for the 2010-11 season. The Moose will move to Saskatoon. The announcement will be made right after the Olympics. Believe whatever it is you want to believe.


What do you think? Could it be? What would it mean for the Blades? What would it mean for the WHL in general? Discuss!

I'm highly skeptical of this, but Scott Taylor is well connected in Winnipeg. I would think news of this will leak out before the Olympics is over if its true.

Why not the Regina Moose? We already know Saskatoon fans won't go to their games.

The rumour around Winnipeg is the Thrashers move to Winnipeg, Moose to Saskatoon, and Blades to Winnipeg (like what has happened in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver). This has been bandied around since last summer
