EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., June 13 — Lou Lamoriello, the president and general manager of the Devils, has made enough coaching changes to know what he wants by now.

While Lou Lamoriello expressed confidence that the Devils won't be charged the $3.6M against the cap next season owed the retired and/or suspended Vladimir Malakhov, that is not the current position of the league.
Lamoriello is credited for his drafting, ala Elias, Rafalski, Niedermayer, Brodeur, etc. The Devils always find a way to adapt.
Lou signed a gang of shaky defensemen at season's beginning, and I think they all knew what they were getting into but, the thing that makes Malakhov stand out to me is that he didn't retire.

Spector- I understand that Lou has brought in Stanley Cups and that he has done some amazing things in the past but it doesn't change the fact that when it came down to playing against one of the elite teams, Carolina, they were absolutely man-handled.
As for Lou being an idiot… well, since you’re not a Devils fan, let me fill you in on some background as to why we got stuck with “the 3 M’s.” Mogilny, I’ll be honest, I thought was overpaid, but obviously Lou thought he was worth it at the time.
