I won't bother posting the whole article, as there's not much on Thrashers ownership stuff except this tidbit near the end: "Reports out of Atlanta suggest that one-time Edmonton Oilers winger Anson Carter, now living there, is part of a group interested in buying the Thrashers. Why anybody would throw good money after bad for the Thrashers is a mystery. Their biggest problem is where they play the games, downtown in a rink adjacent to the CNN headquarters. Their fan base -and we use the term "base" loosely -lives in the suburbs and doesn't feel like driving into town." www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/Bogosian+would+bolster/4354678/story.html

LOL and here I was actually concerned that it would be a legitimate group interested.

Anson Carter isn't exactly Mario. Unless he has an investor group of about 5,000 other fourth liners there is no story here.

Funny enough I saw a similiar 2 sentence article from a Boston site and included it in here somewhere. Is this guy calling all of his old teams and bragging that he is buying a team?

Unless the group is comprised of millionaires (or billionaires considering the price of the Thrashers/Hawks/Phillips is rumored to be 500 million) and they only brought in Carter as the token ex-NHL guy, I don't see them standing a chance.

I read something last month about a bunch of NHLers losing millions because they were snookered into some real estate deal. If you can get enough guys with the intellect of Scottie Upshall together it is easy picking for a scam.

This is an extremely stupid question so forgive me, but how do you copy a Youtube clip and post it with the Youtube screen showing. Everytime I try I only get the link.

If any of the rumors coming out of Atlanta are true then that must mean the NHL is going to pull the plug on the Coyotes.
Let's hope that JHendrix70's prediction about the announcement is going to be right.
