Jim Devellano

Starting off as the Eastern Scout for the New York Islanders in 1972, Jim Devellano gradually worked his way up the ladder in Long Island and with his help the Islanders became a powerhouse and a dynasty in the National Hockey League. Jim would bolt for Detroit and would become their General Manager in 1982, and would remain in the Motown front office for decades and helped the Red Wings win four more Cups.   Seven Stanley Cups for an administrator? It is easy to see why he entered the Hockey Hall of Fame.
