Nothing exemplifies team player more than Langenbrunner. And Lou Lamoriello loves those kind of players. Which is why he
made the move to get him. It had been stated that he was the key to the trade.
In his early days with the Stars, he was an integral part of their offense. His defensive play developed over time, and when the
Stars got Pierre Turgeon, his role shifted to playing in more key defensive times of the game.
His offensive prowess returned when he came to the Devils, reaching a career high in points his first full season. (Which he
would later top.) And after the lockout, over time, he developed into a power play specialist, often times scoring with a rocket
of a shot from the point.
In the end, though, it's all about doing whatever the team needs from him. That attitude was what ultimately lead him to being
chosen captain by Brent Sutter.
