idk if you’re actually curious BUT if you are, there have been a number of players who have signed one day contracts to retire with a specific team they had a big impact on (and who had a big impact on the player).

some recent examples are chara (boston), cam ward (canes), craig anderson (sens), andy greene and travis zajac (both devils)! and now simmer joins the list of guys so beloved by a fan base and organization that he was able to retire with them, even if it’s technically just in name.

ahh thank you for telling me! i hadn't heard abt this type of thing before but i guess that just means i get to learn new stuff :)

#interesting though how 'hockey is a business' sometimes feels like a damocles sword hanging over the players #but then the sport is still sentimental enough to make these retirements happen #at the end of the day there is love #ask

writing this before the game even starts so idk what the current ✨vibes✨ on the dash are like, but i’m gonna feel this way regardless of the outcome. i’ve been a devils fan since 2017 so obviously not the longest time in the world but it’s been over 5 years now so like. still a pretty fucking long time yknow? i’m waiting for the game to start now and i just had to get this off my chest cause i’ve been thinking about it since we lost the first two games at home.

i know the team wants this and i know the fans want this for this team, but fuck man i really want this for all our teams and all our players. i want this for 2017 nico hischier who was the new jersey devils first ever first overall draft pick. i want this for 2019 jack hughes who was our second ever first overall draft pick in only three years. i want this for the 2018 team whose season was surrounded by two first overalls yet somehow fought their way into playoffs but were eliminated by the bolts, 4-1. i want this for all the guys who were traded or drafted or signed to this team since 2003 in hopes of bringing the cup back to jersey and who have since been traded away or retired before we could get that. i want it for the 2012 new jersey devils team who made it to the stanley cup finals, close enough they could feel the weight of the cup in their hands, but had to watch the kings bring it home instead, 4-2. i want it for 2012 adam henrique who, in his first fucking season, scored two playoffs overtime game winning goals, including the iconic one in game 6 against the rangers that sent us to the finals. i want it for zach parise who may have lost jerseys love when he went to minnesota but who still captained us to the finals and who may have played his last ever game this season. i want it for guys like andy greene and travis zajac who, if i’m correct, were the only guys in 2018 left from that 2012 cup run, and who were traded away from the devils in the last years of their careers, but re-signed one day contracts in order to retire as a devil. i want it for the ‘95, ‘00, and ‘03 teams who are awaiting the cups return. i want it for every single player who has ever worn the devils jersey and played devils hockey with the dream of bringing the cup back to the rock.

but i really really really fucking want it for this 2023 team which somehow feels so fucking special. something about this team, this roster, that feels special. i want it for this team who was coming off a previous season where they finished 28th in the league. i want it for this team that was told at the beginning of the year that they weren’t expected to make it far, to just keep their heads up and play their hockey and maybe soon they would have a fighting chance. i want it for this team that went on a 13 game win streak. i want it for this team that broke so many individual and franchise records this season. i just want it.

like i said, idk how the game turned out at the time of writing this and i’m definitely not gonna feel up to editing it if the outcome was unfavourable. so if things went belly up, then just read all the wants as “wanted” instead ig.

i love this team, all iterations of it, and i hope they get to bring it home soon.

#devils lb #poffs lb #i couldve mentioned so many other guys and versions of this team #especially our 2018 cup run group like i couldve romanticized that group for 5k words
