Where did the Thrashers wind up?

Winnipeg. They are the "new" Jets. The "old" Jets are the Arizona Coyotes, who are always on the verge of moving again.

The oriinal Jets were one of the four WHA franchises to join the NHL. I think three of the four (Jets, Nordiques, Whalers) hve moved since then.

OK, what former NHL team gave its name to a Major League Baseball team in the same city?
