[Proposal] Acquiring Severson (NJ)


Recommended Posts

New Jersey has a wealth of right-side defenseman this year, including: 9-million-dollar Dougie Hamilton, newly-acquired John Marino, and 1st round pick Simon Nemec.

 

Damon Severson is on an expiring 4.2 million year deal, with UFA status projected for next summer.

 

There are articles out of NJ that he might be traded this year: https://www.nj.com/devils/2022/10/devils-damon-severson-it-would-definitely-suck-to-be-traded-this-season.html

 

I wonder if the Canucks could put together an offer --- cap hits would need to be similar, as both teams are at the cap.

 

To Van: Severson (4.2 million) + Erik Haula (2.375)

 

To NJD: Pearson (3.25) + Poolman (2.5) + sweetener (Hoglander or 2nd round pick, etc).

 

Canucks could ice a roster that looks like:

 

Podkolzin - Miller - Boeser

Mikheyev - Pettersson - Kuzmenko

Haula - Horvat - Garland

Joshua - Dickinson - Lazar

DiGiuseppe

 

Hughes - Severson

OEL - Meyers

Dermott - Schenn

Wolanin/Rathbone - Burroughs

 

Demko

Martin

Less than 0 chance NJ gives:
Bona fide top-4 RHD on extremely discounted contract for:

Overpaid third liner who does good board work (pearson) + negative value player (poolman).

 

If you want Severson be prepared to part with a 1st and a quality roster player.

Severson is going to cost way more than that, his position alone dictates it.

 

I'd be willing to part with a decent package for him PROVIDED he agrees to an extension first hand. I wouldn't pay anything significant for a rental.

Yea agreed. Contending teams can mortgage their future for rentals, we arent anywhere close.

I'd rather just wait until he is a UFA in the summer and sign him for free.  Severson played his junior hockey for 4 years in Kelowna, so I am sure he'd love to come back to BC and live here...

And to play on a team with you Petey:wub:

Our window barely opened, and we just one right def away to be in the run, and we need to get ride of the dead wood. 

Dickinson + Poolman + 1st 2023 

for

Serverson.

i can cringe with the loss of any Bedard's chance, but dumping those miscast AND getting our much needed RD may worth it.

Ok traders!  Waddaya think about this:

 

To Vancouver:

Desired RD: Damon Severson  $4,166,666

Gritty 24 yr old C: Michael Mcleod  $975,000

23 yr old RD: Reilley Walsh  $925,000 (currently in the minors, so not in cap)

   Total  $6,066,666 (Numerology Note: It is a trade with The Devils)

 

To New Jersey:

Sweetener: NYR's 2023 3rd (to give them a pick in every round)

RW/LW: Conor Garland 26 yr old $4,950,000

C/LW: Justin Dowling 32 yr old $750,000

   Total $5,700,000

 

Vancouver: $6,066,666

New Jersey: $5,700,000

Difference:  If Walsh is on VC's cap: $366,666 (Vancouver's cap hit increase)

If Walsh is kept in the minors: $-558,334 (Vancouver's cap savings)

lol they still don't take this deal.

the cost to dump 5m worth of cap is a 1st anyway. 

Add another 1st in and you've probably got closer to severson. 

1st + 1st + poolman + dickinson for severson.

yeah I'd do this. Sucks to lose a 1st in a deep draft, but that is money out that is longer than 1 year and we bring in a top 4 RHD that we might be able to resign. 

 

I think NJ says no, their team is young, but not too far off starting to compete more and I doubt they want that much bad cap for multiple years.

The first is not only for Severson, its for dumping Dickinson and Poolman too. 
Its pricey as F, but overall i can live with that. 

There’s no reason for NJ to need to take 2 multi year cap dumps to get a first back for Severson.  If they end up not re-signing him by the trade deadline  they’re can likely get a late 1st straight up
