Rock Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2008/09...ld_no_16_b.html "I just went to Zubrus out of respect for Bobby," Lamoriello explained. "I asked if he was tied to No. 16 and he said no. Zubrus wore No. 9 before (that is Zach Parise's number) and I said we have No. 8 available. "No one ever talked to me about it, including Bobby. I figured Zubrus has only been here a year and Bobby wore that number here for a long time." Holik was signed as a free agent on July 1. Brian Rolston, also signed as a free agent that day, will wear No. 12. Rolston wore No. 14 in his first stint with the Devils. That number is currently worn by Brian Gionta. Rolston wore No. 12 with the Minnesota Wild. "That number was open," Lamoriello said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs4LIFE Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I wonder if Zubrus was kidding when he said he would ask for compensation. If you read TG's account of it Zubrus sounds like he's joking around. Hard to tell over the internet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I really think Zoob shoulda kept his number. Whatev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOULAM1 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This was a great sub-set from back in the day.. "Young Guns". Many great players from this set but #24? Salvador wears #24 now and Holik could have taken his rookie # with no problem but the "crash" was sick. I remember this card like the back of my hand and by God I do miss The Whale! God bless those fans as it could have happened here not to long ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
