Waddell asked to step aside: ESPN

Blogs from Kukala’s Korner to Hockey Ape are reporting that Don Waddell either asked to step down or was asked to step aside, but still in management, at the Atlanta Thrashers. Kukala’s quotes Scott Burnside of ESPN: “GM Don Waddell has been asked by the Atlanta Thrashers to give up his duties and accept another management position.”

The assumption, according to ESPN, is that if the doesn’t accept the new position, he will leave the Atlanta Spirit.
