The worst trade by Shero as NJD GM?[TBODY] [/TBODY]
2017-18 New Jersey Devils NHL 21 2 3 5 4 0
My personal ranking:
L - logic - how much the trade made sense at the time it was made
H - hindsight - how it turned out
T - total
1) Hall trade (L10/H10/T20)
2) Palmieri trade (L8/H10/T18)
3) Vatanen trade (L8/H9/T18)
4) Johansson trade (L8/H4/T12)
5) Mueller trade (L3/H7/T10)
6) Grabner trade (L1/H2/T3)
Wedgewood and Quincey deals weren't significant enough, pick swap with Ottawa can't be judged using "hindsight" ranking so there's that.
You will have to define the logic ranking better to have people fairly evaluate it. I don’t think the trade was a 1 on a scale of one to ten in terms of why it was made. Grabner made some sense at the time and he seemed to be harnessing his scoring touch this season. I think the hindsight ranking biases the logic ranking to some extent.
