It took a long time for Nemchinov to come to North America since he first stepped on the ice back in his homeland, but he
came over at a good time for him personally. He was one of the first Russian-born players to win the Stanley Cup. Yeah, us
Devils fans remember that year in vain.
By the time the Devils got him, he was more a third line or fourth line player than anything. He could adapt to any role, though,
as he proved over the years, and his experience in playoff hockey was valuable for the runs in 00 and 01. That's what made his
time in New Jersey a success, despite only scoring 70 points in his tenure.
After leaving the Devils, he would play for 2 more years in Russia before retiring.
Recently, he coached the Russian team that played in the 2009 World Junior Tournament.
Entry Draft: 1990 Twelfth Round Pick (244th overall) by the New York Rangers
