I'm in disbelief right now. The year I started following hockey on a regular basis, Nieuwendyk was just a rookie with the
Flames. And a standout one at that. (Calder Trophy winner that year.)
And after that, 2 Stanley Cups, 492 goals, and 16 seasons later, he landed in New Jersey. He wasn't the 40/50-goal scorer he
was in his younger days when he finally came to Jersey thanks to the style that he played lead to a number of injuries over the
years, but he made a good contribution first in the short time he was with the team right after the trade, then the following
season, as well, in winning his third Cup. And yes, your math is correct. He did score goal #500 as a Devil, on January 17,
2003 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
He played for the Leafs for only one season after leaving the Devils. When play resumed after the lockout, he was locked up
with the Florida Panthers and played for them for a season and a half before announcing his retirement due to chronic back
problems.
Currently, he is back in the Stars' organization as their GM.
