Quoting: Icedragon4405
For some reason, and I cannot figure out why, you seem to think Severson is a really good defenseman that is going to be an elite defenseman, Severson is at most a Top 6 D on any good team, especially with the devils he should be under Hamilton and Subban, Severson has been awful the past 2 seasons where he has gotten a ton of defensive time and offensive time, Subban has been ok and shown that he still has a lot of skill playing only defensive minutes, If subban was playing second line PP time and on the second line with Graves, Graves could help them be a good defensive pairing why Subban could put up solid numbers due to actually getting offensive time, Severson might be ok if he has a much smaller role than he has been given the past 2 years, him playing on the bottom pairing with Siegenthaler would give him a chance to put up a few points and improve his defensive game. Subban and Hamilton are the 2 best D-men on the team. If they do to hamilton what they did to Subban the past 2 years hamilton would not be putting up superstar stats either
Severson is better defensively than Subban and Severson outperformed Subban in the last 2 years
Severson had 31 points in 2019-20 and 21 points in 2020-21
Subban had 18 points in 2019-20 and 19 points in 2020-21
And if you look at advanced stats, Severson is clearly better
