Not only was former NHL forward Jason Arnott acquired by the New Jersey Devils via trade from the Edmonton Oilers back in 1998, but Arnott was also traded twice by New Jersey.
The former first-round draft pick (1993) inked in his name in elite Devils history after he scored the Stanley Cup clinching-goal for New Jersey during the 2000 Stanley Cup Final against the Dallas Stars in double overtime, nonetheless. It’s a highlight-reel that never gets old for Jersey’s fan base and is arguably the greatest memory in the team’s 35-year history.
Considering how critical Arnott was during his first tenure with the Devils, it was odd that the Stanley Cup Playoff hero was traded less than two years after he netted that historic game-winning goal one hot summer night in Dallas, Texas.
