The Thrashers failed to make the playoffs this season and at the end of the regular season, announced that they will not retain John Anderson as head coach, the Thrashers also promoted Don Waddell to President and Rick Dudley to General Manager. Assistant coaches Randy Cunneyworth, Todd Nelson and Steve Weeks were also not retained.

Off-season

With the fourth-overall pick in the Entry Draft, the Thrashers chose forward Evander Kane.

The Thrashers signed free agent forward Nik Antropov, intending to team him with Ilya Kovalchuk. The Thrashers made a trade for defenceman Pavel Kubina from the Toronto Maple Leafs, giving up Garnet Exelby in a four-player deal.
