Players who didn’t play here long enough

[august04]

I would have liked to have seen Justin Sawyer stay a bit longer, but wasn’t his replacement Craig Weller (?), and that worked out quite well!

 

[Earnie]

Let's not forget BLOOD
(I feel he may be back at some point)

 

[Johnnybravo1927]

Ryan Russell. Showed a few glimpses of how good he was, if he came back ( he was going to) then he would have been a fantastic player

 

[Chris]

I always wanted to see Rejean Stringer play a season for us after his efforts in the CC!

Otherwise Weller, definitely Weller

 

[Salsiccia1]

Martin Lindman

 

[trapped]

Weller, Brigley, Jeff Ulmer and Biz Nasty were all not here for long enough, would have loved them to stay longer and for different reasons. Cracking pod about this from the behind the bench boys (3 parts I think), well worth a listen.

Add John craighed to the list

Todd Gillingham .

I still needed more time to work out how the hell he actually played and did very well in the AHL!

I started following the devils in 1996 so I’d been used to Mike Ware and Mike Macwilliam. Let’s just say Gillingham wasn’t quite in their league...We had some shockers in that 1999/00 team.

cant remember him, mustve been good for a mention though.

 

[Gough60]

100% Travis Brigley. So quick, soft hands knew where the puck was so always had his head up.
Ooooozed class.

 

[terry hunt]

Rob Davidson really classy player

 

[Welshy74]

Jeff Ulmer

 

[Rempel16]

Played in the Salters season.
Think he's a scout for San Jose Sharks now isn't he?


Weller for me.

 

[RTfarty]

Weller and Bissonnette. For me, two of the most complete and exciting players I've ever watched in a Devils jersey. I can't begin to imagine how good it would be to have them playing in this current era of management.

Edit: Special mention for Ben Blood who I hope will return towards the end of his career. Showed that he was a quality D man, but an even better character off the ice which would only be good for the club/sport.

wannabe - definetly Wellar. Nothing makes me happier than watching his nhl moment flooring 3 players and the Corey hit (well if you call it a hit massive ).

and another Matt Elich

Listen to the behind the bench podcast with Neil Francis. You might change your mind about Elich

 

[jimmy snels]

rumours at the time was elich was a bit of a split personality. was defo a step ahead of his team mates mind you. looked top draw

I’m sure Franny said something along the lines of he was the most bizarre individual he’d ever played with. Good player but just never listened and did his own thing, on and off the ice

Marco Poulsen.
