True North chairman Mark Chipman said last week at the press conference that the name (of Winnipeg's soon-to-be-former Thrashers) would be picked in the near future, with rumblings following that 10 days would be a likely timeline. That would mean an announcement later this week, likely on an off day in the Stanley Cup finals. Since then, there's hardly been a peep about the name, other than that growing cry from the fan base.
One wonders what the holdup is.
