Those are MY players!  Hands off Zubrus, Ruutu and Tootoo. They are my grit players/likely Devils top scorers. I like Tootoo. Does he wear 22 in New Jersey? |

No. Number 20, uncle Lou would never allow for anything as amusing as that. I think Mogilny, Gilmour Znd Jagr were the only ones to be able to wear numbers above 35 while there. He had weird rules. |

What else did he have? |

He used to deliberately schedule team meals/flights to prevent players from having time to party when traveling. If you in any way challenged the team in the media, you were gone. He traded away Sykora and Arnott because he thought the team relied too much on one line. He was kind of like the Steinbrenner of the NHL. |

I can understand the challenging the team, as a corporation. |

He surrounded himself with OEL people too, Larry Robinson turned Scott Stevens from the shoot first and get 300 PIMs a season player into a first ballot HOFer. |

Devils were the second best team of the last 25 years. Gotta give Lou props for that shit. He was one of the best GMs of our time. |

I'm in and the only player I need is OEL, oh and Smith for the goalie starts because stupid Yahoo won't let you use the OELest players defensive stats as goalie stats.  |
