There is a List of Atlanta Thrashers players. When you add players to the Thrashers main article, could you also add the same players to the list article as well. Thanks! Masterhatch 8 August 2005
Moved to "current squad" in article ccwaters 21:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Heh, Kozlov just might have wanted to be known by his real name (which I've been seeing used for years). "Slava" is a standard style Russian diminutive of "Vyacheslav", much like "Johnny" or "Bobby" are standard diminutives. Ravenswing 12:04, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Also, J.P. Vigier's true name is Jean-Pierre Vigier. He may want to go by his true name instead of the abbreviation.
Note: Mellanby, Havelid, and Modry were added to the team last off-season, 2004, not 2005.
SOmeone needs to fix the current roster in preps for the 2009-2010 season, I found it a mess after a recent "update" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.16.237.230 ( talk) 18:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Is Dafoe still with the Thrashers? if not ,where can he be? Mightberight/wrong 20:24, 27 October 2005
The consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey/Team_pages_format#Player_nationalities seems to be that nation of birth is used in all but the most obvious situations where it would be misleading. Since Peter Bondra moved from Ukraine to Slovakia at age 3, and plays for Slovakian teams, I think it's pretty obvious he's Slovakian. 24.64.223.203 09:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
(begin ranting) Yes, he was born in the Ukraine. But birthplace doesn't always determine nationality or allegiance. He's on the Slovak Olympic team. Hence Slovakian flag. Not Ukraine. Looks like someone changed it to Slovakia while I was preparing this message. Nice to see someone realizes this. (end ranting) -- Buchanan-Hermit™.. CONTRIBS.. SPEAK!. 02:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I mean really. Dany Heatley is the main captain for Atlanta. Good thing theres an edit button. thank god. -- Bennyenhuis 18:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
WHY does the Thrasher section look like advertising? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.41.213.180 ( talk • contribs) 18:11, October 19, 2006.
I've come across many people who are unaware that the team is named after the Georgia state bird, the Thrasher, and are unaware the type of bird in the logo, so to help try to end this confusion, should an image of a thrasher be placed on the page? The Devils' page has an image of a Jersey Devil, as their team's name inspiration. -- David7581 02:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Since we know every NHL team is required to change their jersey design this year, should we change the "present" in the years of the jerseys to 2007? -- David7581 02:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I have not edited this but wouldn't statements like this:
"This is again due to a complete lack of talent with the possible exception of Ilya Kovalchuk, the young Russian who alone, has managed to keep the team alive."
be against the rules? This is a personal opinion stated as fact. It is also simply not true as the statement in question is in regards to a team that made the playoffs which WOULD mean the team does have talent and there is zero justification to state that one player in Ilya Kovalchuk has managed to "keep the team alive".
These comments are not needed in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.37.4.38 ( talk) 15:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Whoever added our new acquisitions to the Atlanta roster and edited the profiles... You Rock!!
I'll add all the stats and such in later tonight so they have all of the info down we're trying to assemble for Thrashers players. Probably from NHL.com.
Tsani Jones ( talk) 21:10, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
The player's number is shown in the front of the jersey as well. Since the jerseys shown on the page seem to have the number "00", should the alternate jersey have 00 in the front, something like this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jojorocko ( talk • contribs) 21:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I don't know how to properly edit Wikipedia articles and don't want to mess things up. The term and distinction "West Germany" are not made anymore since 1990. Please change to "Munich, Germany."
71.59.146.26 ( talk) 17:46, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
The information of the discussed moves of the franchise, along with a potential purchase by an local Atlantan, is cited from reliable sources. if all of this information has been proven false, then the correct response is to present that proof from reliable sources, not to remove the entire section. If this removal of cited information continues without further discussion and consensus here, then I will request that the page be fully protected until a consesnus is reached on the issue. Thanks for you cooperation. - BilCat ( talk) 19:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
The owners of the Atlanta Thrashers is & still Atlanta Spirit LLC. NOT some Canadian where they live in the middle of nowhere. I'll bet 99% of the world never heard of Winnipeg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 18:42, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
"The Atlanta Thrashers were a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada." ...How? Were they in Atlanta or were they in Winnipeg? It should either say:
"The Atlanta Thrashers were a professional ice hockey team based in Atlanta, Georgia."
or
"The Winnipeg Thrashers (formerly Atlanta Thrashers) are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada."
Macarion ( talk) 02:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Relocation of the team has not been finalized. Please refrain from updating the infobox, or changing are to were. Until Gary Bettman announce the relocation of the team, then we will update the article, but has for now, only the selling of the team has been finalized. -- K.Annoyomous (talk) 02:06, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
There are a couple of things to considered before we discuss about the location of the team and any name of the team. First of all, ownership changes must be approved by the league and this has not happen yet and yes, this is probably a formality. But that is crystal balling. Secondly and finally, I believe, purely technically speaking, relocated teams are expansion teams. So, even if the team moves to Winnipeg and keeps the Thrashers name, there should always be an Atlanta Thrashers article. Kingjeff ( talk) 02:15, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
The NHL Board of Governors have not approved any relocation. So, let's sit tight & be patient. GoodDay ( talk) 02:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
If the news reports are accurate, a new article will be created for the Winnipeg team once it is confirmed. This one will still cover the Atlanta history of the franchise, but would become historical. Right now, the editing of this and the Winnipeg Jets articles are just vandalism from excited fans.

Under Statistics & Records, Most points in a season, defenseman: Tobias Enstrom, 50 (2009–10) is false, Dustin Byfuglien has broken that record with 53 (2010-11).
Shubvirk ( talk) 01:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
trust me he played defensemen hes whole career in Atlanta, only in Chicago he played forward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shubvirk ( talk • contribs) 20:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Byfuglien Didn't play a single game at forward for Atlanta... I know. I watched every Thrashers game this season. There was great controversy about it, but if you go back and look at official rosters, he is listed at Defense in every game. He never even played a shift at Forward. -- Kevneely ( talk) 21:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Is there an article on True North Sports and Entertainment ? 65.94.44.141 ( talk) 13:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
I think under Wikipedia's established precedent as to NHL teams it's inappropriate to move this article to "Winnipeg NHL"; rather, it should remain "Atlanta Thrashers" with a new article started about the as-yet-to-be-named reincarnation in Winnipeg. Consider that the Winnipeg Jets' article is separate from the Phoenix Coyotes', the Hurricanes' is separate from the Whalers', etc. 1995hoo ( talk) 17:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
( edit conflict)As with others, on the hockey project side, we create new articles for new incarnations in franchise moves. This article should always stay at this title and discuss the team's history in Atlanta. Reso lute 18:27, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
True North Sports and Entertainment has just confirmed their purchase of the Atlanta Thrashers. I noticed this page was locked, so hopefully you guys will get on editing ASAP. Details such as:
"Atlanta Thrashers 1999-present (Sale pending approval means 2011 could be last)"
need to be changed to
"Atlanta Thrashers 1999-2011" -- PhantomCall2 ( talk) 19:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
It needs to be changed to the "Atlanta Thrashers WERE an NHL team until 2011." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.13.139 ( talk) 02:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
If the board votes no, then ownership does not change, and Spirit of Atlanta remains the owner. It won't happen, we all know, but it's also only two weeks from being official. Reso lute 21:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Don Waddell president of hockey operations announced he is leaving the team, and will not continue in his current position with the team in Winnipeg after the relocation is made official at the Board of Governors Meetings.
74.124.130.132 ( talk) 01:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Don Waddell also said that Atlanta Spirit, LLC still own the rights to Thrashers Logo & Name.
Please make the page similar to the other teams who have relocated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 19:56, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
"With the Thrashers sale and relocation to Winnipeg, the NHL isn't expected to return to Atlanta for the foreseeable future due to the failure of both the Thrashers and the Atlanta Flames.[18][19]"
Bias and doubtful, Atlanta is a major metropolis and big sports market. The Tharchers were under bad ownership is what doomed the team. I can't see Atlanta being w/o an NHL team for more than 10 years at least cuz with the poor situation in PHX and other teams, and with a good arena like Phipps, I don't see why anyone wouldn't try a third time to make hockey work in Atlanta.
I'd like to see both "the NHL is not coming back in the future" and "the NHL is only gone for a short wide because..." arguments made at least.-- 184.77.10.72 ( talk) 00:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I dont see a NHL team returning to Atlanta until Atlanta Spirt doesn't operator the Philips Arena & if Gary Bettman retires, but I do see a AHL team to be playing in the Philips Arena. I can see Hamilton Bulldogs, Adirondack Phantoms, Albany Devils or Oklahoma City Barons to move to Atlanta.
its a discussion, I have the right to talk about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 02:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Any news if the Thrasher's banner are going to stay in the rafters at the Philips Arena? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 22:02, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
they have been took down, they have not say why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 01:44, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Everyone has their opinion on what went wrong with the Thrashers. Looks like someone decided to leave their own opinion in the last paragraph. While insightful, it needs to be sourced properly and the potential biases need to be addressed or else I would say this would be grounds for deleting the paragraph. Any thoughts? Rkehler3 ( talk) 22:18, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Wondering if a section can be added about the Thrashers today and their presence in hockey culture, specifically on Twitter and the popular Thrashers account. Would also suggest referencing the number of black players who played on the team at the same time. 5 players on a team has only happened in one other instance (tied for most ever), and I believe 2010 was the first time that a goal and both assists were all from black players. It seems significant/historic. Also well-documented online. I'm not the savviest when it comes to Wikipedia edits otherwise I'd do it myself. Jaymcarth ( talk) 21:38, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Locally here in Atlanta, there is a proposal in Forsyth County (North of the city) to build an arena to attract a NHL team. Is is worth placing here yet or should it wait until it is past the proposal stage? Byoungjr ( talk) 13:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I can't see Atlanta being w/o an NHL team for more than 10 years at least cuz with the poor situation in PHX and other teams, and with a good arena like Phipps, I don't see why anyone wouldn't try a third time to make hockey work in Atlanta.
I'd like to see both "the NHL is not coming back in the future" and "the NHL is only gone for a short wide because..." arguments made at least.-- 184.77.10.72 ( talk) 00:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I dont see a NHL team returning to Atlanta until Atlanta Spirt doesn't operator the Philips Arena & if Gary Bettman retires, but I do see a AHL team to be playing in the Philips Arena. I can see Hamilton Bulldogs, Adirondack Phantoms, Albany Devils or Oklahoma City Barons to move to Atlanta.
its a discussion, I have the right to talk about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 02:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Any news if the Thrasher's banner are going to stay in the rafters at the Philips Arena? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.182.80 ( talk) 22:02, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Everyone has their opinion on what went wrong with the Thrashers. Looks like someone decided to leave their own opinion in the last paragraph. While insightful, it needs to be sourced properly and the potential biases need to be addressed or else I would say this would be grounds for deleting the paragraph. Any thoughts?

Wondering if a section can be added about the Thrashers today and their presence in hockey culture, specifically on Twitter and the popular Thrashers account. Would also suggest referencing the number of black players who played on the team at the same time. 5 players on a team has only happened in one other instance (tied for most ever), and I believe 2010 was the first time that a goal and both assists were all from black players. It seems significant/historic. Also well-documented online. I'm not the savviest when it comes to Wikipedia edits otherwise I'd do it myself. Jaymcarth ( talk) 21:38, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Locally here in Atlanta, there is a proposal in Forsyth County (North of the city) to build an arena to attract a NHL team. Is is worth placing here yet or should it wait until it is past the proposal stage? Byoungjr ( talk) 13:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
