He has yet to improve his defensive game in any capacity since he came into the league, dumb penalties, costly giveaways, own goals, inability to be a factor on either special teams unit. I've had enough of him personally but that's just me.
His strength is 5v5 turning the puck around, getting it into hands of Bratt, Mercer, Hughes, etc to transition out.
He is not supposed to be our PP#1 qb, nor our top PK guy. He was only forced into those roles for years since we had no other good options.
Compare Subban. Whose exit plan seems to be
always go for the home-run pass.
When that ends up in another icing call, that extra DZ start doesn't count for getting the puck out of our zone (which was our biggest problem last year).
And worse, it ends up in other teams possession in neutral zone.
Watch the game tonight. Pay attention to what happens when Subban starts the exit vs when Severson starts the exit.
Subban's will be exciting (swing for the fences!). Severson's will be boring, forgettable.
The Severson/Smith pairing has been rough this year in generating offense and scoring points.
But that is really not really Severson's fault. His metrics on possession and scoring chances are fine.
It is the 4% on-ice shooting % that is hurting his point totals. That number is an outlier its so low.
