For much of the Devils history, the team makeup consisted of guys all about strictly business, part because of their gamer attitudes and part because of the way Lou ran things. As things began to change towards the end of Lou's tenure and after he was out the door, it is hard to argue that Henrique has been one of the first guys we saw extended personality from and one of the more personable players we've had. Came across as nothing but a genuinely good guy who was frequently involved with the team in a number of aspects.

His rookie season and big playoff contributions were nothing short of a fantastic thing we got to witness that not many guys accomplish.

Well respected across the board on and off the ice by players and fans. Wish him nothing but the best.

Thanks Adam, you'll always be remembered as a Devil by me.

2012 playoffs OT goals were awesome.
One of the nicest guys around and a genuine good person.

Best of luck in Anaheim Rico.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Adam deserves a loud and long ovation on December 18.

He was a proud Devil who could not have been any nicer or engaging with us fans.

 

[EnglishDevil]

For all his faults as a player, he's been one of the few bright spots on this team in recent seasons.

Definitely going to miss him, but this is a move we had to make. At least he'll be in the western conference, it makes rooting for him considerably easier, best of luck Rico!

 

[SETHROLLINS]

My favorite sports moment I've ever seen live, I hope that changes one day with a Stanley Cup but thank you Adam for 2012 and and everything since especially all the charity work!

 

[Bleedred]

I’ll miss him. It almost feels like this is the end of an era, as he was our third longest tenured player. Only Greene and Zajac remain from that 2012 team.

He’s also the lone NHL caliber player, to come out of a very disappointing half decade of poor drafting from the last half of the 2000’s.

 

[Darkauron]

Great guy and person. I'll miss him for sure.. Goodnight sweet prince.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Thanks Adam. I'm really going to miss this guy. A real cornerstone of the team and a genuine leader.

 

[Lou is God]

I was there for his OT goal against the Rangers, one of the greatest hockey nights of my life, just a notch below the Cup wins. Henrique will always have a spot in my heart for giving me that glorious night.

 

[Better Call Sal]

One of my favorite athletes that I've had the pleasure of meeting. Was there live for his first goal at home and the OT game winner against the Jets for my birthday. Became a fan immediately.

I will miss him a great deal. What he provided on the ice was only surpassed by what he did off of it. He became a huge supporter of the community, would always stop for fans and sign autographs, was a staple for an autograph signing every single season.

Clearly someone who knew what he meant to the fans and always wanted to give back. I'll be donating on the last day of Movember today for him.

Thanks for everything Rico, we'll miss you!

Whatever issues most of us had with Adam as a player - two meaningful goals in 2012 aside - nobody can deny he's been a good ambassador for the franchise during lean years in the locker room and off the ice. Like Wingman said he bridged the gap pretty well coming up in the all business environment with instant success and then being one of the faces of the new, more open interaction between team and fans.

Aside from his two OT playoff goals I'll remember the thirty goal season in the first year of the new regime as one of the few on-ice accomplishments worth celebrating during the past few seasons.

 

[Bleedred]

I never noticed Girardi (I think that's Girardi) with his eyes shut in that picture, until just now. HAHAHAHAHA.

the faces of Adam and Travis scoring big ...OK HUGE, OT goals is incredible

 

[NiedsKicks]

He scored a 4 points in 6 games in that ECF series. He'll always be a big bright spot in our franchise because of that. I would've loved for him to be here his entire career but a trade like that cannot be passed up on.

 

[Wingman77]

Does anybody have the video of gif of him tossing Callahan after he tried to hit Henrique and wound up on his tail intsead?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Very sorry to see Henrique go, but the reality is #3/#4 NHL defensemen don't grow on trees.

 

[Wingman77]

 

[Emperoreddy]

I’ve let it be known my opinion on his future here, but still really going to miss him.

 

[britdevil]

I'm going to miss him. A lot.

This sucks.

 

[Better Call Sal]

That OT winner against the Jets was my personal highlight for him. Getting to see that live was fantastic.

f***. This one stings way more than Larsson. I'm bummed.

 

[SMDD2012]

I Was at his movember event in Hoboken on Tuesday and it was absolutely one of the best Devils events I have ever been too. I’m still totally shocked that he was traded. What a class act . He will be missed !!!!
