34 players have crossed the Hudson to play for both the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils. 33 didn’t get there via a trade since there has been only one trade between the two teams since the Devils moved to New Jersey 34 years ago.
The one deal between the two teams came two seasons ago at the trade deadline when the Blueshirts swapped forward Michael Grabner to the Devils in exchange for a second round draft pick and defense prospect Yegor Rykov.
That deal is a great example why the teams don’t want to trade with each other.
