Be sure to join the Discord channel to talk hockey, and everything else, with me and fellow subscribers. By Alex Chauvancy (@AlexC_THW) You wouldn't know it by their record, but the New Jersey Devils have been playing pretty good hockey since Feb. 1.
Here's a wild question. Severson has been getting more minutes then Dougie. He's been on the #1 PP. Severson is the better defender. At least if you don't watch the games dying for him to make a mistake. What could a Severson contract look like. Personally if I'm at least even with a guy that came in from the outside for $9 million & I've been here making $4.5 for several years I'm gonna want $9 too. Every single season Severson has improved. There's no reason to think that he's not going to improve next season. He practically never misses a game.
How much would y'all think he gets & does Fitzy get it done this summer??
If we make the playoffs next year he's not going to be a deadline trade. We'll be getting close to the Cap going back up which will probably be followed by a spending frenzy. That could hike his free agency value way up. Personally I think it's crucial to keep him.

It depends on the term but I wouldn't be surprised if he flirted with $6M AAV
