Brenden Morrow remembers Joe Nieuwendyk as a leader from the first
day he met him.
"I came in and was what, 20 years old, and my head was swimming,

1999-2000. "He has always just been a good guy who teammates
respect."

job being done by the current administration; it was the fact that
Nieuwendyk, who was a rising star in the Toronto Maple Leafs
organization, became available.
