Evaluating Travis Zajac’s Legacy With New Jersey Devils

Tonight is a very important night for New Jersey Devils longest tenured player Travis Zajac. It’s been 13 years since Zajac made his debut in a red and black sweater, hitting the ice on October 6th, 2006. At that point, the Devils were still a perennial contender, and had some picking them to win the Stanley Cup. Obviously, having Martin Brodeur helped that, but young superstars like Zajac, Zach Parise and Brian Gionta were reasons for optimism. Add in the primes of Patrik Elias, Scott Gomez, and Paul Martin and this looked like a team that would always be in contention.
