The one thing that they may have going for them would be with new expansion rules the teams are actually starting from a place of not being completely awful. The Thrashers never won a playoff game and only had three seasons where they were over 500.
I understand that their history is mostly that of a Canadian feeder market but that was a new fan base that was given next to nothing to cheer about for a decade. If they were a competitive team to start with would it be different?
