The 2023 NHL Trade Deadline is a little more than a month away. The New Jersey Devils look to be buyers this season. This post ranks 25 Devils players with their perceived trade value to identify who other teams may want from New Jersey.
The Devils as a franchise are most defined by the eras that have seen them at the extremes. The heights of 1994-2004 or the lows of 1982-87 and 2015-present. Those in-between years have no shortage of drama, though, with the late 2000s being some of the craziest years the franchise ever saw.
Drafting well is important for a team’s success. So is acquiring other players to build a team through trades, free agency, and other means. This is shown by looking back at how the 1995, 2000, and 2003 Cup champion teams were built.
