This technically includes their history in Colorado and Kansas City, but their best has been in New Jersey itself.

Ken Daneyko 1283 games all played with New Jersey. I just watched the whole thing and heard you say it and point at it.
I believe the 1993-94 Devils were the second best team in franchise history. Their only issue was timing. They finished second in points, scoring and goals against. Scott Stevens should have won the Norris Trophy that year. The playoffs were epic, including the seven gamer against Buffalo that included a four OT 1-0 game. Losing the first two against Boston and having Terreri
bail them out in Games 3 and 4. Unfortunately they couldn’t overcome the Rangers. I was at Game 6 and saw it all unfold. Best playoff series in any sport I have ever seen. They fought to the bitter end. The 1994 Devils set the stage for a bright future ahead.
Joe Niewendyk won a cup with NJ too. I think he got his 500th goal or something with NJ as well.
Forgot Rafalski, Dave Andreychuk and Alex Mogilny on the He was a Devil?.. both winning cups with us. Also for notable captains.. id have put Captain Clutch aka 2010's Captain America Brian Gionta over Langenbrunner.
When Chico used to do the Devils TV broadcasts with Doc Emerick, he'd have a segment called "Chico Eats" in which he'd sample the food in every arena the Devils were playing in. New Jersey legend right there
When the little brother (Devils) outshines big bro (Rangers)
I have to give a shout out to Bruce Driver.
Scott Stevens who should be in prison.
My All Time Devils Starting Six:
Goal: Martin Brodeur
Defense: Scott Stevens – Scott Niedermayer
Forwards: Patrik Elias – Scott Gomez – John MacLean

Dano a Devil since 1982. Player to broadcaster he's been with us 38 years straight
Imagine if the devils won game 7 in 94 and game 7 in 2001. 5 cups in 8 years
Honorable mention for coach: Pat Burns. His coaching led the Devils to their last Stanley Cup victory in 2003 and left after the Lockout because he was diagnosed with cancer. He was such an underrated coach and I will always wonder what the Devils could have done after the lockout with him.
For context, here's a coaching breakdown for the Devils post lockout:
2005/2006: Larry Robinson and Lou Lamoriello (both temporary; not enough time to find a coach after Burns resigned in July)
2006/2007: Claude Julien (fired with 3 games left in the regular season, replaced by Lou. Rumor has it he was fired because he was too soft…)
2007-2009: Brent Sutter (fired mid 2009 season, replaced by Jacques Lemaire)
2010: John MaClean (we all remember how this turned out; replaced by Jacques Lemaire and quickly turned the season around and made the playoffs.)
Like I said, I will always wonder what could have been. Burns was a natural fit. I'm not saying he would have lasted until 2010 (Lou had a way of shuffling staff and players whenever he wanted), but I wonder what a post-lockout Devils team would have looked like had he have still had the ability to coach.
Rafalski and Volchenkov ???
Devils…first Soviet in Fetisov. First Hispanic in hockey in Guerin. First Alaskan Mexican in the NHL in Scott Gomez. Devils orginal owner, Dr John was also a legend & American hero being a USS Indianapolis survivor !
No mention of Scott Gomez or Randy McKay? That Crash Line in '95 were lighting it up more than most 1st lines in the Playoffs that year with McKay scoring 8 goals. And Gomez' wicked passing skills on the Mogilny line got us 2 more Cups and almost 3
"What about me??? I'm an all time devil!!"
-Your pretty kitty cat being a devil in the background
