Since losing in the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals, the Devils failed to make the playoffs in each of the following five seasons. Looking to shake things up prior to the 2016-17 campaign, New Jersey dealt defenseman Adam Larsson to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for goal-scoring winger Taylor Hall.
Larsson, a 24 year old native of Sweden, was selected by the Devils fourth overall in the 2011 NHL Draft and had scored nine goals and added 60 assists in five seasons with the team. Hall, meanwhile, was selected first overall by the Oilers in the 2010 NHL Draft and had been a consistent scorer for the struggling franchise. The trade helped vault the Oilers into the playoffs for the first time since 2006, and while the Devils missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year, it's hard to argue the impact Hall has had with New Jersey. Through 68 games with the Devils, the Calgary, Alberta, native led the team in scoring with 51 points.
