Pat Maroon is so goddamn slow

Rob Skrlac. Only played 8 games because my god was he so slow.

Gotta go Maroon. Big Rig didn’t have many gears.

Cam Jansen (he had a max achievable speed before a guaranteed wipeout, like a video game character using too much boost)
Any goalie
Some of the bubble players of recent like Stefan Matteau, Seth Helgeson, etc.

Dave Andreychuk by a very wide margin. Glaciers move faster.
Edit: But if it’s not gonna be him, it should go to Maroon. He’s the next most shockingly « how is this guy in the NHL, let alone good? » slow guy I can recall.

I don’t really disagree with the choice, but man, I wish Michael McLeod’s face wasn’t one of the first things I see every day when I open reddit.

Seth Helgeson is the slowest Devil I’ve ever seen play in the NHL, current rosters slowest player is Bastian.

I feel Clowe was slow and I don’t know why.

Jagr when we got him.

Cam Janssen skated like he was the guy in a hockey movie who couldn’t skate

The post did not specify that it couldn’t be a goalie…

It’s probably one of the dudes from a previous era, but man Toffoli’s skating was hard to watch

Recent memory is Sami Vatanan. Remember that goal Henrique scored in his return vs the Devils? Sami was slowwwww

Dave Andreychuk. We called him “Wood” because he was so slow. And awesome. Him getting hurt in the last game in 1997 screwed that playoff run.

David Malley. Starikov (joined the team when we brought Fetisov over). Starikov was out of shape.

Oliwa was the slowest Devil I ever saw.

Kurtis Foster always looked like he skated through sand

Viktor Kozlov- somehow looked like he wasn’t skating and yet efficiently was in the right soot. Shootout ace even glided in slow on the goalie
