It took under 60 minutes for the hockey world to be turned upside down.

In that time, Taylor Hall was shipped to the New Jersey Devils, P.K. Subban and Shea Weber traded places, and Steven Stamkos threw a wrench into Friday's free-agent frenzy by deciding to stay in Tampa Bay for another eight years.

While Wednesday's moves directly involved five clubs, their impact stretches far beyond that. Here are the winners and losers of the wheeling and dealing:

Winners

Steve Yzerman

Heading into the July 1 deadline, not many general managers felt the pressure quite like Yzerman, with the possibility of Stamkos taking his talents elsewhere with nothing more than a wave goodbye. But Yzerman wouldn't have it.

When he finally locks up the third-highest scorer in team history, Yzerman may also save his job in the process. That's not to say his job was on the line, but proving he can get such an important deal done is definitely a win on his resume.

Yzerman - while it might not have looked like it - knew what he was doing and in the end got his man.

Nashville Predators

It's rare a team can trade its captain and it's deemed a win for the franchise.

However, this was certainly the case when the Predators sent Weber to the Montreal Canadiens for Subban. In Subban, the Predators get more speed and a much younger option on the back end. Weber - almost four years older than Subban - remains under contract until the end of the 2025-26 season, while Subban's contract runs through 2021.

Factor in the supporting cast Subban now has with Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis, and Mattias Ekholm, the Predators can let Subban do his thing - something he never quite had the opportunity to do under Michel Therrien.

Get ready Nashville.

New Jersey Devils

Quietly coming out like bandits Wednesday were the Devils.

The team flipped a defenseman who's never scored more than three goals in a season for a forward who managed the 12-best points per 60 minutes (of players with at least 200 minutes played) in 2015-16, with a solid 2.31 mark.

In Hall, the Devils address their desperate need for scoring - after finishing 30th in the NHL with 2.22 goals per game. Hall also gives the club a much heavier left side that also boasts Michael Cammalleri.

Losers

Maple Leafs/Sabres/Red Wings/etc.

With Stamkos electing to stay in Tampa Bay, it's safe to say the teams who have been doing their best to wow the 26-year-old all came out losers.

The Toronto Maple Leafs believed they could lure Stamkos back home, the Detroit Red Wings were hopeful that with Pavel Datsyuk's contract off the books they could afford Stamkos, and the Buffalo Sabres were crossing their fingers that their rebuild would be kicked into overdrive.

None of those scenarios panned out, and with that each will now have to settle for consolation prizes starting July 1.

Ben Bishop

While Stamkos' future with the Lightning is now set in stone, it appears quite the opposite for Bishop.

The 29-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent next summer and with a cap hit of just under $6 million, the likes of Nikita Kucherov, Vladislav Namestnikov, Alex Killorn, and Nikita Nesterov still to be signed this year, and Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Victor Hedman, and Jonathan Drouin after next season, money will need to be freed up somewhere.

Rumblings at the draft suggested Bishop was in play, and that seems ever more likely with a reported $8.5 million added to the salary cap. Bishop's days in Tampa appear numbered.

Edmonton Oilers

It happened. The Oilers finally dealt a member of their top six for a right-shot defenseman.

However, the right-shot defenseman is Adam Larsson and the forward going back was Hall. While Larsson plays a heavier game and is a decent all-around defender, the fact is the Oilers dealt the player who led the team in scoring in three of the past four seasons to get him.

Larsson's career high in goals and points sit at three and 24, respectively, while in 2013-14 Hall finished seventh in league scoring.

Rumors surfaced recently that the Oilers were in negotiations for St. Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk. The Oilers were reportedly offering Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with the ask by the Blues reportedly being Hall or Jordan Eberle.

One would think Shattenkirk would've been the preferred acquisition over Larsson.

Montreal Canadiens

The Canadiens added more size to their blue line Wednesday, but the price was their franchise defenseman.

While Weber is no push over, to acquire him the Canadiens dealt one of the league's best defenseman who is entering his prime for one who is exiting his.

Weber remains under contract until the 2026 season and will make $12 million the next two seasons. He has a smaller cap hit than Subban, but with his deal set to expire when he's 40 years old, the Canadiens appear to be getting themselves into a bind.

With the team and city alike losing a player who was beloved by fans, sold jerseys, was a media darling, and an outspoken humanitarian in the Montreal area, it's hard to see where exactly Marc Bergevin was going with the trade.
