It appears that fans of the new Winnipeg hockey team won't have to wait much longer to find out the name of the team.
The club is expected to name its team just prior to making the 7th overall pick during tonight's NHL Entry Draft, which can be seen live on TSN at 7pm et/4pm pt. Make sure to check out TSN.ca for a live hockey blog with TSN Analyst Craig Button, beginning at 6:30 pm et/3:30 pm pt.
After an explosive Thursday that watched big name players get moved, Friday could be just as volatile as the NHL Entry Draft goes tonight in Minnesota.

IMO, it better be the JETS!

Pierre LeBrun has made a couple of interesting posts on Twitter, but I can't see why Winnipeg wouldn't announce it tonight.

"Winnipeg NHL team still debating internally whether or not to announce team name tonight....

While there's still debate internally, gotta think Winnipeg will make use of big TV audience and make a splash with team name. Just a guess"

Good news! But wow, the franchise can't keep a secret can they? Everything they mean to keep quiet gets leaked super quick lol

Wow, just read the exact same thing from Darren Dreger. As much as I am excited to read that (hoping that it's true), I think it's really unfortunate that it just may have slipped before they could have announced it. It just kind of kills the anticipation for me.
