Could A Shakeup Be Coming In Atlanta's Front Office?

The Thrashers missed the postseason this year by the skin of their teeth, but according to SB Nation's Thrashers blog, Bird Watchers Anonymous, the close call with the playoffs might not be enough for the status quo to survive in Atlanta.

Here's an excerpt from BWA's report:

There are plenty of rumors floating around about Head Coach John Anderson, but even greater changes may be afoot in Atlanta. I have received information that one of the part-owners of the Thrashers remarked this weekend that Atlanta Spirit is considering moving Don Waddell up to Team President and giving Rick Dudley the GM duties this summer.

[...]

Finally let me add this note. As someone who writes about the Thrashers I hear a fair number of rumors and I rarely publish them. I consider this source to be credible and it is consistent with information I have received in the past, namely, that in the recent past Waddell was offered the choice of staying GM or becoming President and chose to remain GM. If both pieces of information are accurate, it sounds like it might not be his choice this time around.
