Was it widely known how bad those owners were when the sale was completed? The league blocked other owners from buying teams before. So if they knew what the Thrashers owners would do to the team, I doubt they would have ever approved the sale.

Part of the problem was that there wasn’t a clear majority owner, and that a higher bid was spurned because one of the ASG members was Ted Turner’s son-in-law. The person behind the higher bid (David McDavid) ended up suing.
