Lawless interview with Andrew Ladd

[jksockey]

I don't know of any issue any of the players that played in Atlanta would have with playing in Winnipeg. The tail end of the roster should be happy to be playing in ANY NHL city... Only a handful of them stayed here in Georgia in the off-season anyway.

As a fan, it's not something I'd worry about. Playing in front of a packed house every night for the next several years will more than make up for the crappy weather (compared to what they were used to here in Atlanta i.e. wearing shorts in February).

Nice to hear from someone in Atlanta.

Thanks for your support.

The irony continues to be that NONE of the players have voiced any concerns.

Our local reporters seem to relish the opportunity to stir things up: Short term gain for them headlines-wise but
Long term bad for the franchise here in terms of negative connotations.

Glad to see Ladd is sending a message to any teammates who secretly want out. But we shouldn't make a big deal out of it. There's probably a few players on every team who want out. I bet there's even more in Toronto.
