I thought this thread was about the amazing french fries at Thrashers in Ocean City. Moving on.

Yup, NHL.com is now reporting that the deal was made.

As for divisions, should be good. Blue Jackets want into the east but Wings will go first if there are moves to be made.

I know that the Wings have the clout, but I think they'll get stuck in the West. Detroit is too big of a draw for the teams in the Western Conference on the road. Plus, you can't add them into the Eastern Conference without messing up some great rivalries (Pens-Flyers, Habs-Bruins, etc.). Columbus or Nashville make the most sense to go into the Southeast.

How long before they put another expansion team in ATL?

Well, they've tried and failed twice, so I'd like to think "never". Then I remember who the commissioner is, and I think "next week".

Yeah I don't see Detroit moving even though it makes sense considering the rivalry set ups.

No way that Columbus moves to the east ahead of Detroit, even if it makes more sense in the big picture. That's one prediction I'm pretty comfortable making, though Columbus might end up making a stronger case if they were to move to a new market. Like Atlanta, for example.

Please don't move, Columbus. I need my pro hockey.
