NJ Devils best:
1995: Shawn Chambers and Danton Cole for Ben Hankinson and Alexander Semak.
Chambers was huge in the playoffs, often partnering with Scott Stevens
2000: Alexander Mogilny for Brendan Morrison and Denis Pederson
2002: Jamie Langenbrunner and Joe Nieuwendyk for Jason Arnott, Randy McKay and a first round pick.
Didn't pay dividends right away, but was a big part in the 2003 Cup win, plus Langenbrunner was an excellent player with the Devils for a long time afterwards.
NJ Devils worst:
2001: Sean O'Donnell for Willie Mitchell.
Technically a week before the deadline, but close enough. O'Donnell was useless in the playoffs and Mitchell went on to become one of the best shut down defensemen in the league for a long time
The bad trades the team has made seem to be more in the offseason or in February.
