This Team needs a Name, FFS

I've been in Winnipeg for less than 24 hours, and aside from the fact that I need a nap, one thing is plainly obvious: the team needs a name.  Listening to ads on the radio, it's like those odd times when you forget someone's name: "Hey…uh…buddy…How are you?"

Also, without a name, there's no memorabilia, so stores are selling old-school Jets flags with the "Defunct" label on them.  And to make matters worse, until they name the team, all of my posts on this site still get tagged with "Atlanta Thrashers."  So let's get on with it!

Aside: does any of this mean that my 1984 Dale Hawerchuk dollar is legal tender again?
