Firesale continues in Washington
The Florida Panthers are stocked with young talent (but rumors of financial peril and relocation are around) and will be a force to deal with in the future...
The Atlanta Thrashers are on the verge -- if injuries and consistency didn't cause problems for them, they would have kept the Southeast division a tight race....
The Carolina Hurricanes are treading water, in the division -- down for a while and then back up before heading down again....
And what of the Washington Capitals?
With a payroll that was out-of-this-world and a lack of wins to show for it, the fire running rampant through the Capitals lineup continues as Robert Lang -- the co-leader of points earned in the NHL, was sent to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for prospects and draft picks...
Rebuilding can really be a bitch, Washington fans... You probably know it better than I do -- even though I and other Tampa Bay fans, had been living it for years after a sole playoff appearance in the mid-1990's.
Who and what will be left in DC by the time March 9th comes around? Your guess is as good as mine...

You’re on the money with the Thrashers. When the number of injuries piled up, so did the losses. Things just snowballed from there. Maybe we’ll actually give you a run next year (if there is a next year).
