Gary Bettman said that the NHL own the 'Winnipeg Jets' trademark and they would give it to TNSE for free.
IMO in regards to the Jets name, it's really a no-brainer. It already has a built in fan base, it has history and brings continuity from the past, and most people - if recent polls suggest - want it. I don't see why you screw with what's not broken, unless you're a Mickey Mouse outfit with scant of a clue on basic branding.
