Peter Harrold and Karl Stollery come to mind.
Just kidding. Greene was one of my favorite players during his tenure here. Just poised, positionally sound, and could play in all situations. At his peak Id argue he was a top 20 d-man in the league.

This man probably played some of the toughest workloads in Devils history. And never lost his cool during some rough years.

Pretty cool to see them give him the one-day retirement contract. Well-deserved honor for sure.
Impressive career for an undrafted FA, and a rare bright spot from the past decade of poor Devils teams.

It's a shame we didn't get to see it more often, but what a miraculous playoff beard.
Never forget what a rock he was in the 2012 run, glad he got to retire as a Devil.

well played sir
The Nico video surprisingly got me. Greene was beyond a durable guy, and every bit a warrior. Congrats on your career, and hope you enjoy your retirement! You’ve earned it!

If that doesn't get Andy's tears flowing, nothing will.
It sure as hell did mine.

I could see Greene being a head coach down the road. Especially with the college game.

My Andy Greene story. I might have posted this before (if I have, sorry). We were fortunate to be able to go to Sweden back in 2018 for the Global Series. A couple hours after the game we were in the hotel lobby when Andy and Brian Boyle came downstairs. Boyle was extremely cordial (no surprise there) as was Andy. We asked if we could get a couple pictures and Boyle was more than happy to. Greene said he had to get back to his room and get his bags ready to be loaded onto the teams bus, but he'd come back right away. We figured that would be the last we saw of him but just the chance to say hello was cool. Ten minutes later, here comes Andy in very casual clothes - shirt, pants, hat on backwards and barefoot! 
He spoke with us for a good 15 minutes asking where we were from, thanking us for coming all the way from the U.S. to see the game and just general conversation. He then said let's get some pics which was the icing on the cake. 
So there we have our Andy Greene moment. Gracious, personable and a true professional on and off the ice. Congratulations to the Captain! So happy to hear he will remain with the Devils in some capacity and we're looking forward to Saturday!
Still debating on whether to post a pic or not. Maybe after a couple drinks tonight.

Bare foot Greene makes it look like you adopted a hobo.
Nice pic!
-Edit- I hope those were warmed floors, I always have cold feet and just looking at barefeet on tile gives me the shivers.
