The New Jersey Devils have five players that you would consider the pillars of the team’s history. Scott Stevens is one of them as he is one of the greatest players to ever play for New Jersey. He is also one of the greatest defensemen in the history of the NHL. He is in the Hall of Fame, has won the Stanley Cup three times, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs for his efforts in 2000.

Stevens had 196 goals and 712 assists for 908 points in 1635 games. In addition to being very good offensively, he was elite in his own end. He was a remarkable plus-395 in his career. In any year he played in the National Hockey League, he was never a minus-player. He came to New Jersey in 1991 and played there every season after. He had time with the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues in the seasons leading up to those years in New Jersey.

Devils fans should want Stevens to be on Twitter for a lot of reasons. For one, he is a very smart hockey man. He has been a personality on NHL Network for a reason. The man knows his stuff so seeing his opinion about things online would be awesome. He is also just such an important piece to the history of this team that having him in our lives just a little bit more would be awesome.
