The NHL 's trade deadline has come and gone.

It's as good a time as any to examine the deals that were made and the ones that weren’t and identify winners and losers.

In no particular order, the Detroit Red Wings were the only team to make a move at the deadline.

New Jersey was supposed to be a front-runner to win the Metro , but in the wake of the deadline, they seem particularly flawed.

The Devils had $8.4-million to play with after their other deadline moves, yet they left it all unspent.

They're almost certainly headed for a showdown with the Hurricanes in the first round of this spring ’s playoffs.
