General managers of failing or injury-plagued NHL teams have a phrase for the environment:"The vultures are circling."
It's what happens when the Minnesota Wild lose Josh Harding to a torn ACL and Chuck Fletcher receives plenty of friendly calls from other GMs offering to "help." It's what happens when Mark Streit and Kyle Okposo suffer serious shoulder injuries in Islanders training camp and peers and agents graciously contact Garth Snow with "solutions" to his problem. It's what happens to Calgary's Darryl Sutter and Toronto's Brian Burke the morning after their teams suffer another rip-your-heart-out defeat.
And for the first time in a long time, It's what's happening around Lou Lamoriello and his 8-17-2 New Jersey Devils. If the Devils are a carcass, New Jersey's general manager refuses to have his team be picked at.
