Atlanta would be left without an NHL franchise for 19 years. The Atlanta Thrashers were founded as an expansion team in 1999; however, the Thrashers would subsequently relocate to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2011, becoming the current incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets, again leaving Atlanta without an NHL franchise.
