Noesen is a cool story. Drafted by Ottawa, part of the Bobby Ryan trade but struggled with injuires in Anaheim. The Devils claimed him on waivers and he had a breakout 13 goal season but struggled the following year with injuries.
Signed an AHL deal with Pittsburgh that turned into an NHL deal, but didn't make much of an impact before the Sharks claimed him on waivers. He was part of the 3-team Nick Foligno trade and ended up in Toronto.
After a year in the AHL with Carolina, who signed him as a free agent, he came back the NHL and had seasons of 36 and 37 points. And now with the Devils he's on pace to top that.
