You also forgot the thrashers are leaving to Winnipeg, which I'm sure the same thing will happen, next year they will win the stanley cup, the same way, the Flames left Atlanta and won the stanley cup the next year.

I didn't forget they are leaving to Winnipeg. They've already left and are getting ready for the season up there.

The Flames did win a Stanley Cup, but it was almost a decade after they left. The best we could do is *NOT* getting an expansion team for hockey; it failed both times. Although the Flames did much better here than the Thrashers.
