The Atlanta Thrashers are no more; all hail the resurrection of
the Winnipeg Jets:

I don't think they can call the the Jets, as that franchise is
now in Phoenix. Stupid, yes, but I recall hearing that a
couple of weeks ago when this first came up.

Incredibly foolish. If Baseball has done one thing right it has
been not letting a city that loses a franchise replace it in 5
years time. They can suffer for 30 years like Washington.
Speaking of which, I once saw an episode of Jeopardy where the
answer was something to do with what franchise moved to
Minnesota and the answer was the Washington Senators. Of course
Loveland knew that was incorrect and screamed at Alex Trebeck,
who did nothing.

You might've been thinking of the other incarnation of the
Washington Senators, who became the Texas Rangers....
...also, the NHL has completely re-structured its financials in
the 15 years since the Jets left Winnipeg to allow cities like
Winnipeg (and Buffalo... and other small market teams) to be
competitive. They won't draw in the broadcast revenues that
Atlanta could potentially bring if they did things right, but
they've at least got local (and regional) support, FWIW.
The city that would make the most sense to move a team to,
though, would be Hamilton, Ontario.... but Toronto and Buffalo
aren't going to like that very much.

From wikipedia:
In 1960, Major League Baseball granted the city of Minneapolis
an expansion team. Washington owner Calvin Griffith, Clark's
nephew and adopted son, requested that he be allowed to move his
team to Minneapolis and instead give Washington the expansion
team. Upon league approval, the team moved to Minnesota after
the 1960 season, setting up shop in Metropolitan Stadium, while
Washington fielded a brand new "Washington Senators" (which
later became the Texas Rangers prior to the 1972 season).
Don't try to throw down with Trebek. You won't win.
