Damon Severson played his first nine seasons with the New Jersey Devils, where his size and booming shot proved to be an asset for the team.

Jay Pandolfo was the 32^nd Overall Pick in 1993, which occurred a year into his tenure at Boston University.  The native of Winchester, Massachusetts, stayed with the Terriers for three more years, and as a senior, he was the Hockey East Player of the Year.

Prior to his arrival in New Jersey (but after he was drafted), Chris Terreri was the MVP of the NCAA Tournament, although his team (Providence) lost the final game to RPI.  After a cup of coffee with the Devils in 1986-87, he participated for the United States in the 1988 Olympics. Two years later, he was the primary Goalie for the Devils until the arrival of Martin Brodeur. Nevertheless, he was a competent backup and was part of New Jersey's 1995 Stanley Cup-winning Team.

After five productive seasons in Vancouver, Swedish Center, Patrik Sundstrom was dealt to New Jersey, where he continued his healthy level of two-way play.
