That would be a great move, if Toronto has the cap room. Stevens could command at least $1 million. More likely, he'll sign for something similar to Chelios' $850,000. The difference between Chelios and Stevens is that Chelios has proven to be very durable in recent seasons. He's a warrior in the tuest sense. While I need to see him play half the season before I make up my mind, based on what I saw in '04, I think Chelios has another few years left in him. Stevens really took a beating when he went out, in part due to his extremely physical style of play. Like Chelios, Stevens needs to tone things down. However, if he's got anything left, knowing that he's out there definately changes how forwards think when he's on the ice. I have no idea what he's capable of at this point in his career, or what New Jersey is offering him. Expect the Devils to overpay to keep their captain. He's too important to their identity.
