New Jersey Devils News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
In a wild 1990s NHL twist, the St. Louis Blues tried to poach Scott Stevens from the New Jersey Devils — only to trigger a bizarre arbitration ruling that sent Stevens back to New Jersey in exchange for Brendan Shanahan. The Blues had already used their draft compensation picks on Stevens, leaving them legally stuck when they tried to sign Shanahan. In a stunning move, the arbitrator sided with the Devils, effectively letting the Blues “use” their picks on Shanahan via Stevens’ trade. The Devils, who already had championship DNA, got their cornerstone defenseman — and went on to win multiple Cups. The Blues got a star forward, but the ruling exposed flaws in the system, leading to major rule changes. Without Stevens, the Devils’ dynasty might have fizzled — making this one of hockey’s most consequential trades.
