from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
If the Thrashers manage to finish out of the playoffs or get blitzed in the first round, then the jobs of general manager Don Waddell and head coach Bob Hartley could be in danger. Even worse, the future of the franchise, which has yet to take Atlanta by storm, could be at stake.
“This is a critical year for our franchise,” Waddell said Wednesday. “Our attendance is heading in the right direction, but if we fall short, it could affect us for years to come.”
Both Waddell and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman say they are not worried about the future of the franchise in Atlanta. But there are troubling signs aside from attendance, which is improving this season but still among the worst in the NHL.

“This year, the Thrashers look like a much better bet. But their 89 points before last night’s game against the Leafs was only two out of seventh place in the conference.”
