His was great not because of his stats. But by being a solid foundation for his 4 other line mates. He would make a nice first pass. Then his team mates would pass one too many times leaving him without an assist
first big mistake the sharks made not drafting scott their first year in 1991 and taking pat fallon instead, scott would have been a solid cornerstone for 15 years, so dumb by the sharks monagement
@gntluvr true, but the leafs were the ones who really screwed themselves. they traded that pick to new jersey, which is why the devils got him and not the leafs. plus, falloon was supposed to be a much better forward than he turned out to be.
scotty is a total class act. we miss him in anaheim. could really use him right about now. but i have a great feeling about cam fowler. hopefully he follows exactly in scottys footsteps
Damn what a career he's had! He's won the "holy grail" of titles with the Memorial Cup, World jrs Championship, World Cup, World Championship, Olympic Gold and of course Lord Stanley.
Fowler is still learning but you can clearly see the influence of Scott's offensive skills. It also doesn't hurt that Cam is living with Scotty too.
@kiba2001 They said the same things about Fowler, down to the Paul Coffey comparison. Fowler made the NHL faster, also. Niedermayer may have had more points in juniors, but back then scoring was way higher in the NHL and even higher in the juniors, so you can't exactly call me crazy if I compare the two of them.
@alex2542 Look I'm not saying Fowler will be a bust, I'm just saying don't rush things, he's great and will be great, and it's true the way he skates is eerily similar to Scotty's but I wouldn't want to put that pressure on his shoulders, let the kid amaze us.....one goal at a time

To me Scott Niedermayer is definitely in the top3 of defensemen in hockey history! What a skater, what a vision, what a leader...

I miss you Scotty, what an amazing career, the only player in history to win ALL championships!
I miss Scotty's presence as the person he is off the ice, because both on and off the ice, a wonderfull person.
