Ken Daneyko is one of those all-time great New Jersey Devils players.

Everyone loves New Jersey Devils legend Ken Daneyko for a bunch of different reasons. He was a great player for this team for 20 years. He was drafted in the first draft after the team moved from Colorado. He was the 1st-round pick at 18th overall in 1982, and he developed into one of the greatest players to ever lace up his skates for New Jersey.
