Aaron Broten, the brother of Neal and Paul Broten, was a first-round pick in 1980 by the Colorado Rockies.  

We finally have an entry where we get to look at a player before the franchise relocated to New Jersey.  Actually, we have a player before they got to Colorado.  Let’s do one better.  The player in question, Wilf Paiement, was the first man drafted by the team.

In his eighth season in the National Hockey League, Right Wing Jamie Langenbrunner was traded from his first team, the Dallas Stars, to the New Jersey Devils. The Minnesotan won a Stanley Cup with Dallas in 1999, and the on-ice leader was set to the same with the Devils.

Travis Zajac was taken in the First Round in the 2006 Draft (20^th Overall), and the native of Winnipeg cracked the New Jersey Devils roster immediately, with a 42 Point Season and a tenth-place finish in Calder voting.
