  2. ^ The Devils traded their 1989 fourth-round pick (used on Niklas Andersson) to Quebec for Tommy Albelin on December 12, 1988.
  3. ^ The Devils traded their 1989 seventh-round pick (used on Doug Evans) and Alain Chevrier to Winnipeg for Steve Rooney and the Jets' 1990 third-round pick (Bombardir) on June 19, 1988. The official Devils transaction page incorrectly lists Evans' pick as 1990.[6]
