If players typically took a full season to adapt to new coaches, any GM would have to be an idiot to make a deadline trade. The truth is most players adapt quickly. Versteeg is new to the team and he's having a good season. Chiasson is bringing pretty much what was expected of him. Stone doesn't seem to be lost on a new team with a new partner. Then there's Tkachuk.

Well 'new coaches, new system' is definitely a thing, whether you recall it before or not. But yeah, it gets pretty old when you're into March.
Having said that, it is definitely the case that individual players can end up in different roles and different situations as a result of it, and that can affect guys for an entire season. It's far from unheard of.
