the Devils announced that at some point this season they will retire niedermayer's number 27. im not entirley suprised because of the great things he did with the devils but i hope this does not make the ducks decide not to retire his number in the future. i want teemu to be the first number retired, but scotty made us a legitemate franchise again and made us into a consistent cup contender. he only played 5 seasons but the impact in those years makes him worthy of that honnor
