Severson is still NJ's #1 RHD. With retention, and very little in return, they'll keep him this year and let the young D get another year experience,

If you want severson its a good prospect and a 1st

Uh, no he's not.

We have Dougie Hamilton lol

I like Edmonton as a trade partner for Severson. But this isn't the return. It's likely Puljujarvi a higher pick or prospect

Also acceptable is a rental swap e.g. JT Miller or as part of a package e.g. Tkachuk

If the Oilers can trade Tyson Barrie, I think a deal with the Devils could work well. IMO, the best scenario would see J.P. and his agent agree to contract terms prior to the trade, and Severson agree to sign a contract extension when he arrives in Edmonton. In that way both teams and players have some certainty.

Although I am really interested in seeing whether Samorukov can outcompete Niemelainen in October, I'd be okay sending him to New Jersey to solidify Edmonton's RD for a couple seasons.

One averaged 23+ minutes a game. The other 21 minutes a game. One averaged .58 ppg. The other averaged .48 ppg.

You are aware Dougie had like 3 injuries this year? He is our 1RD. There is no doubt to that.
