I'd put money on this being the next NHL team to relocate, even over the Coyotes.
ATLANTA -- The owners of the Atlanta Thrashers claimed Friday to have lost more than $130 million since 2005 and at least another $50 million on the plummeting value of the NHL franchise because of a bitter dispute that ruined their plans to sell the team.
The ownership group, known as Atlanta Spirit, revealed its financial woes in a lawsuit against one of the city's most prominent law firms, claiming faulty legal work is largely to blame for its predicament.
The lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court claims the owners have been negotiating to sell the Thrashers over the last six years, only to be thwarted by a contentious split with Boston-based co-owner Steve Belkin. That legal tussle was finally settled in December when his shares were bought out.
