Description

I think in order for NJ to trade Severson, they’ll have to receive an offer they couldn’t refuse.

For Toronto, they would be acquiring a top 4 Right Handed shot D for two playoff runs. Since he is right handed, it costs more to acquire him.

For NJ, they get RD with top 4 potential along with 2 second rounders. They also receive Ritchie for cap purposes.

I think Leafs accept this trade as they will also be retaining their first round picks to help build their prospect pool while acquiring a top 4 RD. NJ may need a little bit more (such as adding Kuokkanen for Liljegren in this deal and taking away a second rounder) but I think getting Niemala for Severson would be a great piece.

Thoughts?

No thanks from the Leafs. Leafs can get rid of Ritchie next summer if necessary relatively cheap, but Severson's 4.1m contract can't be handled the Leafs. And I wonder if Severson really wants to play in pressure situation with a good team He was so poor against the Leafs in the two games last week, I wonder if was doing a Shane Doan, " I can prolong my career, by not playing playoff games"

The Leafs fall over themselves accepting this deal. You aimed way too low for a top 4 RHD with term. The comparable trade for Severson starts with the LA-Toronto Muzzin trade in which the Leafs moved a 1st, a good prospect and a B prospect.

This doesn’t get halfway to Severson. A offer they cannot refuse would include Knies, Niemela and a pick (and not Ritchie). Devils should be re-signing Sevs.

While he went too low, you went way too high. You wouldn't get both Knies and Niemala. You are talking about a prospect much further down the depth charts for the Leafs to go with Niemala. Someone along the lines of a Tverberg or a Villeneuve.
