The Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg where they'll assume a new identity, likely in a new conference. They'll also have a new head coach.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Monday that Craig Ramsay would not be brought back as head coach as the organization moves to the Manitoba city.
"The whole situation was pretty awkward," the former Bruins coach told the paper. "[General manager] Kevin [Cheveldayoff] handled his part well. They just didn't feel they could make a significant commitment to me. He must have had other coaches in mind."
Ramsay interviewed to keep his job on Saturday, and then was informed on Monday that he would not be brought back.
The Thrashers were 34-36-12 in Ramsay's only season as head coach.
