looks like how I would imagine it

What’s the criteria? Got guys like Broten, Shanahan, Verbeek, who like Muller, started here and moved on. Guys like Mogilny, Fetisov, Gilmour, Jagr that were part timers. Are we counting KC and Colorado legacy guys like Lanny MacDonald, Wilf Paiement?

Some names to consider for bench
1) Petr Sykora
2) Taylor Hall
3) Dougie Hamilton
4) Coaches Lamaire and Robinson
5) Travis Zajac
6) Sean Burke (if he hadn’t been such a weenie)
7) Bill Guerin
8) Tom Kurvers
9) Jesper Bratt

Kovalchuk - Hughes - Elias
Parise - Hischier - MacLean
Sykora - Gomez - Gionta
Muller - Holik - Shanahan

Stevens - Rafalski
Niedermayer - Daneyko
Fetisov - Hamilton

Brodeur
Schneider

Bench: Madden, Guerin, Greene

Head Coach: Jacques Lemaire
Asst Coaches: Larry Robinson, Pat Burns

Captain: Scott Stevens
Asst Captains: Nico Hischier, Ken Daneyko

Ha sorry probably should have included a little description with what I was thinking.

Im basing off their time in NJ. So for example a guy like Jagr wouldnt be on it because his only season here was 43yo (even though he actually was pretty decent).

From there, tried to build an actual lineup as if I were making a team to compete for the Stanley Cup. So a guy like Hall is left off because I value him lower than Kovy, Elias, and Parise as a LW and I don’t think he fits a 4th line.

Couldn’t hammer down a proper 4LW, dont love Muller there.

Put some thought into combinations, went with the EGG line but A-Line could work as well. Just feel that Gomez and Gionta were more talented and had better Devils tenures than Arnott, Sykora, though it isnt a massive gap.

Felt bad leaving my man Travis off the list. He had a great Devils tenure. Just a lot of really good 4C types that might play that role better than he would.

Id go Lemaire for coach, his (almost complete) turnaround of that dreadful 10-11 team cements him for me. Love Larry too though.
