(Following the dismissal of Claude Julien by the New Jersey Devils, I was assigned to compile a short list of coaches fired by GM Lou Lamoriello in the 2000s.)

April 3, 2007 -- Since 2000, Lou Lamoriello has not been shy about making changes, in good seasons and bad, in season and out. A look at the Devils' history this decade:

1999-2000: Robbie Ftorek is fired in-season and replaced by Larry Robinson. The Devils win the Stanley Cup, defeating Dallas in six games.

2000-01: Robinson coaches the entire season. The Devils lose in seven games to Colorado in the Stanley Cup Finals.

2001-02: Kevin Constantine replaces Robinson in-season. The Devils lose to Carolina in six games in the first round.

2003-04: Pat Burns replaces Constantine during the offseason. The Devils win the Stanley Cup in seven games, defeating Anaheim.

2004-05: Burns coaches the entire season, as the Devils lose in five games to Philadelphia in the first round.

2005-06: Burns announces he will not return due to a battle with cancer. The Devils rehire Robinson. On Dec. 19, Robinson steps down, replaced by Lamoriello. The Devils lose in five games to Carolina in the second round.

2006-2007: Claude Julien replaces Lamoriello as coach. But yesterday, Julien was fired, replaced by Lamoriello with three games remaining.
