Don’t rule out the NHL’s return to Winnipeg. The MTS Centre isn’t big enough to meet league standards with just over 15,000 seats and there’s concern about how much corporate support a team would attract, but better to have a full house in Winnipeg than crickets in Atlanta. The talk is the Phoenix situation will somehow work itself out, but the Thrashers’ problems are different and moving the franchise could be the only option .

You have to wonder about GM Scott Howson’s future in Columbus if the club doesn’t make the playoffs. That wasn’t what Howson promised when he took over and the mistakes are starting to pile up on him. The signing of D Mike Commodore, currently playing in the AHL, could be the last straw for the people signing Howson’s paycheques. Maybe they should bring back Doug MacLean.
