I was watching Sportsnet over lunch (1pm-ish), and they had an interview with the president of the True North corporation, which purchased the Thrashers and moved them to Winnipeg. He said in no uncertain terms that, in the early years, the team would not spend to the cap, and would build the team the right way (i.e., through the draft and development).

Hi-ooooo.
Panger FTW.
There's no reason they can't do both... build through the draft and spend early on to help things along...rooneypoo wrote:tim1_2 wrote:It would make sense for them to try to make a playoff run this year.

Building through the draft is their best way. But they also inherit all of the prospects -- I guess that means the Chicago Wolves are now the farm team of the Winnipeg ????.

that should hurt a bit. I guess he'll move on after the draft. don't expect Wadell to make any exciting moves at the draft.
I'm on the fence about him, he's made some nice picks in the 1st rounds for sure but i'm sure winnipeg might be able to pull together a better GM and team. I'd look to swipe Poile's assistant if i were them.
