Sullivan enters picture
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former Boston Bruins coach Mike Sullivan is set to speak with Thrashers general manager Don Waddell about the Thrashers coaching job. The St. Petersburg Times spoke with Sullivan, who had not yet met with Waddell.
It could be a late change in plans by Waddell. He didn’t ask until Thursday for permission to speak with Sullivan, according to the report.
