Brylin
He won't make the hall of fame, and I wouldn't bet on the Devils retiring his number, but it's guys like Sergei Brylin that make the NHL the league that it is, that make hockey the sport it is (and differentiate it from the other sports), and also who win Cups for teams.
Sergei Brylin would win, if there were such a thing, the award for best third line player every year, and would have been winning it since the mid 90s.
But, he's gone. Off to play in Russia, leaving Marty Brodeur as the only remaining three Cup Devil on the team (the only other active 3-cup Devil is Scott Niedermayer). I guess they didn't have the cash for him after bringing Rolston and (barf) Holik back.
