Colin226 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2009/09/rob_niedermayer_joins_nj_devil.html NJ.com is reporting... Newly-signed center Rob Niedermayer joined the Devils Monday morning and took part in their practice wearing No. 21 while centering a line with Niclas Bergfors and Brendan Shanahan. Niedermayer was signed on Friday to a one-year, $1 million contract. Past players who wore No. 21 were Barry Tallackson, Brad Lukowich, Pascal Rheaume, Randy Mckay, Kevin Todd, George McPhee, Bob Hoffmeyer and Murray Brumwell, among others. When Niedermayer eventually makes his Devils debut, he and older brother Scott will become the fourth set of brothers to play for the team, joining Aaron and Neal Broten, Claude and Jocelyn Lemieux, Patrik and Peter Sundstrom.

Par9 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Good to hear he is here and practicing. For all those people complaining about how this was a bad signing is wrong. Nieds is a solid player, maybe not a Sundin or Forsberg, but he come fairly cheap and is better then Sestito or Moore. For all we know this may be a step to get Scotty back.

Devils Pride 26 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 wow it will be great to see bergfors putting up points playing with neids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucenterrules Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This was a solid signing. I'd much rather have Neids center the 3rd line(for now) and Pelley the 4th than have Pelley 3rd and sestito 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 i guess they are reserving #27 for the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs4LIFE Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Bergfors-Nieds-Shanny. Oh, Niclas. I'm so, so sorry. Yeah I don't think this kid will ever get a chance to prove he can be a 2nd line scoring winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucenterrules Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah I don't think this kid will ever get a chance to prove he can be a 2nd line scoring winger. He'll get his chance. He should see PP time with the 2nd unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah I don't think this kid will ever get a chance to prove he can be a 2nd line scoring winger. I know its not ideal, but he has got to start somewhere, and at least if he was on the thrid line with Nieds and Shannahan he would pretty much be the focus in terms of scoring and creativity. Bergfors-Nieds-Shanny. Oh, Niclas. I'm so, so sorry. Switch Bergy to the other side , hes not a left wing, although i doubt the line setup that was the point of your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
