In Dean I Trust.

I hope no one minds, but it's easier and more enjoyable to pick who could get the axe in the next 5 or 6 months. So....Howson, McPhee, Murray, Lombardi, Wilson and Snow (in that order). I'd say everyone else is safe, regardless of their team's performance.

I think that's a pretty fair assessment.

The Kings would be out of the minds to dump Lombardi. I don't care if they make the playoffs or not. Especially, if they dump TM and still miss out....I don't think there is a need for a change there.

Gotta go with Peter Chiarelli having the hot hand right now. What he's done in Boston since May of 2006 has been real good...
