Severson has been strong. The only dman you’ve got above a 50% xgoals share

Sure man, we’ll take Laine and Peeke off your hands

He was definitely better lately before getting hurt, but he's just been incredibly frustrating to watch this season. So many unforced errors and feels like he can't control the puck at times. Definitely not in that same range as Gudbranson literally, but it's been disappointing relative to expectations.

I'd be happy for someone to take Peeke for free at this point just to get his money off the books and force Vincent to actually play Jiricek. So many people wanting him for some reason this offseason made me excited they might actually get something of value for a negative asset imo, but that time's passed for sure.

If they moved Laine, he's almost certainly going to have higher outputs than he would in Columbus, but the fit just doesn't work. I'd rather sell him off at a loss and recoup some decent value than continue to force what's not working here and have it be a less than ideal outcome for both him and the team. Don't see him ever hitting that ceiling people thought he had at this point, but he could totally have a bit of a resurgence and be a regular 35-40 goal scorer in the right environment. Just don't think the fit is working here for either party.

we also started winning more games once he got hurt lol
