On January 4th, 1998, the New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers made a deal that fit both teams. The Devils traded Stanley Cup Championship duo Bill Guerin and Valeri Zelepukin to the Oilers in exchange for Jason Arnott and Bryan Muir. The trade was a “change of scenery” type of deal that both clubs thought would benefit the players involved.
