I had to laugh at this article by John Buccigross, once again proving nobody at ESPN has any clue what they're talking about.
On Lou Lamoriello:
I bet right now he's thinking, "Do I trade Marty and start over again?" And he's also thinking, "I think if everything falls right, we can win the East." But, the first thought will win out. Not that he will trade Brodeur, but he needs to think about trading him -- and John Madden (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1774) and Brian Rafalski (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1911). At the first sign of a struggle this season, I would trade all three guys and start again. Get draft picks, get prospects, get younger, get Wade Redden (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1335), get Phil Kessel and get ready for the new arena. The salary cap requires one to think in such cold, unthinkable terms.
On the Flyers:
Clearly the class of the division. They will win the Atlantic by at least 25 points.

Lay down the crack pipe John, and go back to doing ESPNEWS.:laughing:
