Is a fascinating exercise in reminding me that I cannot for the life of me remember a single guy who played for the Atlanta Thrashers.
(The Winnipeg Jets include the Atlanta Thrashers but not the Winnipeg Jets, those are the Phoenix Coyotes.)
((This is opposed to the NFL grid, where the Cleveland Browns include the Cleveland Browns, but the Baltimore Ravens - who were the Cleveland Browns - do not.))
(((This is because when the Art Modell wanted to move the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, the NFL deactivated the Cleveland Browns, and granted Modell and expansion team in Baltimore - the Baltimore Ravens. However instead of having an Expansion Draft, they stocked the team's roster with the now-inactive Cleveland Browns roster. Then when the Cleveland franchise had new ownership, the team was reactivated and restocked via Expansion Draft.)))
((((Everyone still hates Art Modell.))))
