At this time of year, there's always a lot of speculation about who the Red Wings may trade, or trade for.
I have complied a list of the Red Wings deadline deals of the last decade; which one do you think was the best move from 2000-2009? I think the most popular pick is Stuart, but I'm curious to see what other people's opinions are on these other deals.
