Johan Hedberg decided to come to New Jersey because he thought he could win a Stanley Cup with them.
"This is what I was hoping for the first year and this is what I was hoping for when I re-signed, because I felt we had something to prove," Hedberg said. Traditionally, Martin Brodeur's backups haven't gotten much playing time, but Hedberg has played a more significant role. He had a 17-7-2 record, 2.22 GAA, and .918 save percentage in 27 regular season games, so he's part of the reason the Devils made the playoffs in the first place. That being said, barring a meltdown from Brodeur or an injury, Hedberg isn't expected to get any playing time during the Stanley Cup finals.
