It was just reported that the Atlanta Thrashers are officially packing their bags and moving to Winnipeg. After weeks of anticipating and with the doubt of the Coyotes' and the Thrashers' future, we find the answer to both teams 2011-2012 season. The Coyotes are remaining in Phoenix for at least another year but the Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg for next season. Here is the story from The Globe and Mail:

So I apologize to Thrasher fans and I congratulate the Winnipeg fans who finally get their team back.
Edit: Just reported by several sources that no official deal has been done. But it appears it is only a matter of time. NHL reporter Darren Dreger says he'll get an update from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman after 2nd intermission of tonights Lightning-Bruins game. He thinks the deal will get done soon.
