R3aL Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 1 hour ago, aGENT said: He's a bit better than Myers, but yeah... Not the D we need, going to cost too much, for too long, only to be an ill fit on this roster and have fans worrying about how we get rid of him and his cap hit sooner than later. No thanks. You would expect he would pair with Hughes better than Myers could ever. But I agree it would be a similar type of contract and with OEL and an upcoming Hronek extension our Defence would be stupid expensive and it could age horribly quickly especially if he didn't fit in his first year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 In a hypothetically mystical world where we add another $6M dollar Dman to our back end: Hughes-Severson OEL-Hronek Bear-Myers That's what we would be looking at... Looks stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want OEL gone so badly that it’s clouded my judgement. Wait until Jim Benning becomes a GM of another NHL team. He'll want his prized possession back. It's the least he can do for the team he crippled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 If the Canucks didn't just bring in Hronek I would have been interested in Severson. However, now that we have Hronek I would really prefer that the Canucks go after a true shutdown guy to compliment the top 4 rather than a PP2/PK2 guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Rather go after Graves if he falls to free agency and if we create enough cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinky-Winky Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 YES Please, esp since he wants to come here, hope the nucks make it so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Let's just bring back Bear, that would be the prudent move. Then again, knowing this management's affinity towards name players (e.g. trading for OEL), I think Severson may very well be coming in 24 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could we do that and still fit in the right-handed shut down D that we need to play with Hughes? Graves would be a luxury that there's no way we can afford.

wai_lai416 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 so not only do we need to magically move cap out prior to july 1st which is probably going to be impossible without sweeteners.. we want to call NJD and give them a draftpick for the rights?? lol bs.. any cap related move prior to july 1st will cost heavy.. because team knows you want to move cap so u have money to spend on july 1st..

Looks stupid. It does look stupid haha We truly need shutdown defencemen. None of them fit that description. In theory those are all pretty good Dmen but it’s unbalanced af 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timråfan Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Severson looks to short and too expensive. We already have 3 expensive D when Myers is gone and we have a lot of youngsters that might fit in within 2 seasons. So for me I wonder who ever spread that rumour. I would be very surprised if it is mutual i terest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a team much closer to contending than the previous rosters that LE and Myers became a main piece of, this is a move that actually brings the impact that was expected when LE joined an aged out youth-less team and Myers joining an inexperienced team.

DrJockitch Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hahaha “tying him to the Canuck’s until he is 35 years of age doesn’t feel right” Elliot hasn’t been paying attention to how we work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe in a couple years then. No matter how bad the year, and this year was worse than last, we believe we are almost there because of a coaching bump or hot streak at the end. Let’s keep being satisfied with mediocre so we can stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 More teams looking for D than there are D available. That is a recipe for seeing players overpaid. Severson is a fine player, but keep in mind he was outplayed by Marino who we could have gotten for basically nothing last offseason if we just had some open cap space. I am preparing to be really disappointed about how the team will again be unable to fix the roster this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy never takes body contact to free up picks. His soft play is a major reason why the Devils got destroyed in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain't saying much. He's simply not the D we need, ESPECIALLY with the Hronek acquisition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'd prefer Dumba over Severson. In saying that, there's no chance we add anything big from the UFA's this year. Even if we do move Myers and by some miracle, Miller, I'd rather a stop gap UFA we can flip after a couple seasons for assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
