I feel like we don't see too many sign and trades. Really cool use of the bonus 8th year. Columbus adds Provorov and Severson, plus a healthy Werenski. That D is looking better and better.

Plus a work horse coach, 2 offensive dynamos. The pieces are there.

Columbus is doing well. They had some injuries last year too, or else they would have done better. They made some really good additions. Hopefully there's finally some good stability and long term success incoming. That franchise could use it.

shrewd and smart move here

Severson isn't good. He was a bottom pair guy who they just paid handsomely.

 

This is a bad move for them, the lost Gavrikov who's the better player and just signed for less in LA.

Severson was 2nd to Hamilton in TOI amongst their defensemen this year. His 5v5 xGF% was highest among the group at 58.84. It's a decent loss for the Devils. They just have too many guys they have to sign. They have $34M in space, but Bratt and Meier will eat up roughly $15-16M of it. 4-5 guys who are in line for $3-4M.

Looked for fun, but Evolving Hockey's contract projection for an 8 year deal for Severson was $6.9M per.

You read too much into these underlying stats. You use "expected X %"  as your basis for every argument

 

He ended the season on their third pair behind Hamilton and Marino. 

 

They paid him as a top pairing guy, but he's a bottom four defenseman. 

 

Vince nailed this:

He's one level above fodder and that contract is laughable. God bless him though for getting it.

And then he backtracked...because he was wrong.

JFresh models are suspect, at best.

You’re suspect.

Probably the most accurate assessment you've had in quite some time.

There were about 15 players who caused the Rangers more problems than Severson.

Yeah, but what about the guys on the other team?
