NHL teams adding star power ahead of the trade deadline can only dream they work out as well as these 15 jaw-dropping deals.

Just a reminder that not all TDL trades lead to a Stanley Cup, but here is a list of the top 15. I will bet that for every one of these stories, there are at least 25 of those teams that didn't do any better in the PO's than they had the year before.
These 15 go back over 30 years, or about one cup winning trade every two years, when there are about 20 trades per year at the TDL, maybe more. So, 15 out of 450, or about a 3% chance that the Stars will win the Cup because of Granlund, Ceci, and D man "X" yet to be acquired.
Obviously, Nill has to try, but chances are that one more trade will not change the destiny of this year's Stars team.
