<2009–10 2011–12 > The 2010–11 Atlanta Thrashers season was the 12th NHL season (11th season of play) for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[1] The Thrashers posted a regular season record of 34 wins, 36 losses and 12 overtime/shootout losses for 80 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. It was the last season for the franchise in Atlanta. The team was bought and relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, for the 2011–12 NHL season and became the revived Winnipeg Jets. Off-season During the off-season, the Thrashers announced that they would not retain John Anderson as head coach. The team also promoted Don Waddell to president and Rick Dudley to general manager. Assistant coaches Randy Cunneyworth, Todd Nelson and Steve Weeks were also not retained.[2] Dudley made his first trade as general manager on June 23, 2010. It was a major trade, a nine-player trade (including picks) with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Thrashers receive Dustin Byfuglien, Ben Eager, Brent Sopel and Akim Aliu for Marty Reasoner, Joey Crabb, Jeremy Morin, the Devils' first-round pick (#24 overall) in 2010 and the Devils' second-round pick (#54 overall) in 2010. The Blackhawks, Stanley Cup champions, found it necessary to trade players for prospects and picks as they were in difficulty with the salary cap. On June 24, the team named Craig Ramsay as the new head coach. Ramsay, who had been an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins for the previous three seasons, had played with Dudley with the Buffalo Sabres during his playing career.[3] In the following weeks, the Thrashers hired an associate coach, John Torchetti, and an assistant coach, Mike Stothers.[4][5] The team also hired Clint Malarchuk as the team’s goaltending consultant.[6] Regular season Divisional standings Southeast Division[7] GP W L OTL ROW GF GA Pts 1 z-Washington Capitals 82 48 23 11 43 224 197 107 2 Tampa Bay Lightning 82 46 25 11 40 247 240 103 3 Carolina Hurricanes 82 40 31 11 35 236 239 91 4 Atlanta Thrashers 82 34 36 12 29 223 269 80 5 Florida Panthers 82 30 40 12 26 195 229 72 Conference standings Eastern Conference R Div GP W L OTL ROW GF GA Pts 1 z – Washington Capitals SE 82 48 23 11 43 224 197 107 2 y – Philadelphia Flyers AT 82 47 23 12 44 259 223 106 3 y – Boston Bruins NE 82 46 25 11 44 246 195 103 4 Pittsburgh Penguins AT 82 49 25 8 39 238 199 106 5 Tampa Bay Lightning SE 82 46 25 11 40 247 240 103 6 Montreal Canadiens NE 82 44 30 8 41 216 209 96 7 Buffalo Sabres NE 82 43 29 10 38 245 229 96 8 New York Rangers AT 82 44 33 5 35 233 198 93 8.5 9 Carolina Hurricanes SE 82 40 31 11 35 236 239 91 10 Toronto Maple Leafs NE 82 37 34 11 32 218 251 85 11 New Jersey Devils AT 82 38 39 5 35 174 209 81 12 Atlanta Thrashers SE 82 34 36 12 29 223 269 80 13 Ottawa Senators NE 82 32 40 10 30 192 250 74 14 New York Islanders AT 82 30 39 13 26 229 264 73 15 Florida Panthers SE 82 30 40 12 26 195 229 72 bold - qualified for playoffs; y – Won division; z – Placed first in conference (and division) AT - Atlantic Division, NE - Northeast Division, SE - Southeast Division Playoffs The Thrashers failed to make the playoffs and have not made the playoffs since 2006–07 season.
