The New Jersey Devils are one of the most storied NHL franchises despite being in existence for less than 30 years. With three Stanley Cups and a laundry list of legendary players and coaches who have called New Jersey home throughout their careers, there isn’t much to debate there. The franchise is best known for its suffocating style of play in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Players such as Martin Brodeur, Scott Stevens, and Scott Niedermayer immediately come to mind leaving few accolades left for any of the club’s past offensive talent.
