Lewis was an effective stay-at-home player in his career. For a time in his career, he was paired with Denis Potvin, that's how
reliable he was.
So that's what he brought to the Devils while he was with them. He have the young team a jolt of physicality and I'm guessing a
few words of wisdom.
I say that because of future endeavors, particularly after he retired while with the Red Wings. He took to coaching with them.
He served as an assistant for a LONG time. From when he retired to when Scotty Bowman stepped down. That's about 14
seasons. Add 2 more as the head coach and one as a scout while with Detroit.
He moved on to the Boston Bruins after the season as a scout to become their coach, but he only lasted one season with a last
place finish in the Northeast. He moved on to be an assistant with the Los Angeles Kings for a season, but hadn't done anything
on the NHL benches since 2008 until Carolina hired him as an assistant in June, 2011.
