Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
Vadnais' career began just as the NHL was expanding from 6 to 12 teams. Clearly, he brought some veteran presence to the
Devils that first season in New Jersey.

He was a former captain for the old California Seals, as well, so he also brought some leadership to the team.

In his best days, he was also skilled with his passes and his skating. It had lead him to be selected to the All-Star Game 6 times,
3 as a Seal, twice as a Boston Bruin, and once as a Ranger.

Hmm... not exactly a proper send-off on his career, a -32.
