1996–97 New Jersey Devils season
Encyclopedia
The 1996–97 New Jersey Devils
season was the team's 15th
in the National Hockey League
since the franchise relocated to New Jersey. The Devils captured the Atlantic Division
title and finished first in the Eastern Conference
, but fell in the second round of the playoffs to their arch-rivals, the New York Rangers
.
During the regular season, the Devils allowed the fewest power-play goals (28), took the fewest penalties (232) and had the best penalty killing percentage (87.93%) in the league. Coincidentally, they also had the fewest power-plays (288) scored the fewest power-play goals (40) in the league.

in the final game of the 1995-96 season, the first time since 1970
that the defending Stanley Cup champion missed the playoffs in the following season. Lemare was quoted as saying that the team lacked confidence. He also felt that the media, the fans, and some players, misread his commitment to defensive hockey as a detriment to offensive creativity, stating that he never stopped his players from being creative in the offensive zone. He ended up needing to repair his relationship with Devils team captain Scott Stevens
due to his comment following the Ottawa game that the team suffered from a "lack of leadership". Stevens reportedly saw the remark as a personal attack, and so himself and Lemare ended up sitting down together in order to discuss the comment. Lemare later stated to the media that the remark was intended to be an indictment of the entire team, himself included.
The 1996 NHL free agent market officially opened on July 1, 1996, following the passing of the June 30 deadline for teams to file contracts with the league. The largest name to become a free agent on July 1 was Wayne Gretzky
, who was released from the St. Louis blues
after the team failed to reach an agreement with Gretzky's agent. The Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Phoenix Coyotes
and New York Rangers
(who eventually signed him) were reported to have expressed interest in signing Gretzky, but New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello
told reporters that Gretzky didn't fit with the team's financial plan. Lamoriello did express a desire to retain Phil Housley
, an offensive minded defenseman who was acquired by the Devils late in the 1995–96 season but who had been released by the team after failing to be signed prior to the deadline. The Devils were unable to sign Housley though, who signed a US$
7.7 million three year deal that included a no-trade clause with the Washington Capitols
on July 22, 1996. Lamoriello stated that the team didn't want to make a long term offer, and would not consider a no-trade clause. He reportedly felt that Housley's previous $2.2 million salary was "astronomical".
Speculation that the Devils would trade for all-star center Jeremy Roenick
, 26 years old at the time, began following the Ranger's signing of Gretzky. In late August Lou Lamoriello confirmed to the media that he was attempting to bring the Roenick, a restricted free agent, to the Devils via a trade. Any team signing Roenick out from the Phoenix Coyotes
would be required to give the Coyotes 5 first round draft picks in compensation, and Lamoriello was quoted as saying that "I have no intentions right now of giving up draft picks." Rumors were reported in the media that Lamoriello considered dealing forwards Bill Guerin
, Brian Rolston
, Mike Peluso
and defenseman Scott Niedermayer
for Roenick. Reports the next day reiterated Lamoriello's interest in Roenick, both for the Devils and as a player for Team USA
, also included the possibility of including Stephane Richer
in a potential trade. However, Richer was traded back to the Montreal Canadians the following day in exchange for 28 year old Lyle Odelein
, whom the Devils immediately signed to a three year contract at approximately $1.5 million per season. Roenick eventually signed with the Coyotes, despite interest from the Devils and Capitols, among others.
Amid rumors that the Devils were interested in dealing with the Detroit Red Wings
for hold-out center Keith Primeau
, Devils center Bobby Holik
didn't show up to training camp in what was described as a surprising decision on his part to not report to the team. Speculation among teammates and the media was that he wanted a trade. Neal Broten
, who was considering retirement at the time, and Mike Peluso
, who had been benched by Lemaire during the 1995-96 season and thought that he would be traded over the summer, did report to training camp along with 60 other players. Several regular players who were involved with the 1996 World Cup of Hockey
tournament were scheduled to report to camp late.
, held June 22, 1996 in St. Louis. In a move interpreted to be an affirmation of their commitment to a defense-first philosophy, the Devils chose 6–3, 195-pound Lance Ward of the Western Hockey League
's Red Deer Rebels
, who had not been ranked anywhere near the tenth seed to observers, with their first pick.
"I was a bit surprised to go early because there are a lot of great players [here], but I'm a pretty happy kid right now," Ward said. "I was hoping to go in the first round but you never know what's going to happen. It was a pretty open field and I guess [the Devils] liked me. They flew me to Toronto for a physical test and an interview [last month] and I guess I did well." Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello
was impressed with Ward's potential to be yet another hard-hitting New Jersey blueliner, stating "We liked [Ward's] potential as far as his upside is concerned," Lamoriello said. "We have guys like Scott Stevens and Ken Daneyko on our team and this young man [is like them]. He's strong now, he's mean, and he's got skills."
During the draft the Devils traded backup goaltender Corey Schwab
to the Tampa Bay Lightning
in exchange for their backup goalie Jeff Reese
along with their 2nd round (47th overall) and 8th round (198th overall) picks in the draft. The Devils then traded their original second round pick (28th overall) to the Pittsburgh Penguins
in exchange for the Penguins' two second round picks (41st and 47th overall).
