The antithesis of the 'worst player' thread - who is the Devils player who was here just for a fleeting time that you wish had become a staple on our roster?
We have the obvious candidates (Ulmer, Brigley) but outside of them, who is the guy you wish had played more than a few games or more than one season for us?
I have three:
Jim Brown (2002-3 season) One of the most skilful, likeable and 'hockey' players I've ever met, and I think could have been so influential. Think Brent Walton before Brent Walton.
Alan Schüler. The most flawless D-man I think I've ever seen, though Richie runs him close. Amazing, calming influence on our team.
Steve Cadieux. Another obvious one, and the most famous for us greybeards. From his ridiculous debut, to his love and passion for the game and our fans, to just the way he played the game. The man was built to be a Devil.
Now all I have to do is wait for JD to approach me on the gantry on Saturday and say the famous words 'Rick Brebant'.
So - who's yours?
