SEVERSON IS 28

He's currently 27, but was the cutoff and I debated throwing him in here. I've seen enough ACGM's that have involved him recently that I went ahead and added him.

sean walker from LA is a younger player who would probably go for a bit cheaper as hes coming off an ACL injury. Doubt LA keeps him over the likes of durzi, spence and others but hes still solid, yet pretty expendable

I doubt DeAngelo is available but i'd be intrested to see what the cost would be

Ranked, from most expensive to least expensive

1. Damon Severson (with extension)
2. Anthony Deangelo
3. Calen Addison
4. Damon Severson (without extension)
5. Cal Foote
6. Nils Lundkvist
7. Sean Durzi
8. Jordan Spence
9. Ethan Bear

First 3-4 will likely need multiple pieces/picks. Rest could be acquired with single piece.

Addison is higher than expected because they need his ELC as the buyout years arrive.
Lundkvist is lower than expected since he was rumored to be made available at deadline.

DeAngelo isn’t available unless he does something to warrant to burning bridges between Carolina and him. And if that happens, I don’t know if anybody will take him. That being said, I think Carolina resigns him. Bear on the other hand, you would be able to get, and for cheaper. A 2nd a decent prospect would be a good return. As for the prospect, I would think the Canes would want a LW, LHD, or even a RHC, albeit C is covered, so the positions of focus should be LW and LHD. If the Canes were to trade DeAngelo, I think they would ask high, and Dallas probably won’t like the price.

Severson wants to stay in NJ, and I think that will happen. Durzi and Spence probably don’t get dealt at all. Lundkvist and Addison probably cost a pretty penny, with the same going for Foote. Foote would require an overpay, mainly because he is a cheap price that Tampa might not be able to afford to replace.

All this being said, every player is available. It just depends on how far a team is willing to go to get them.

TB. Has 3 rhs defenseman with any NHL experience under contract next season so
Trading Foote would have to be an
Overpay serious overpay with h7is cheap cap and term

NYR don’t need to move Lundkvist, he will be a good 4RD for us for the next 2 years and by then I’m sure there could be movement of Trouba to make space for Nils. I do however see them being willing to move him if it’s to make the team better somehow but it’s going to be in a TDL add or a real needle moving trade. Can’t see them trading him for other prospects or picks.

I’ll take the LA guys over most the list

I think Severson will cost too much for the Stars. He wants to resign and Devils don't need/want to trade him. It would cost a huge overpayment and the Stars wont do that

Nils will likely cost a young center. The rangers made him available for a top center only.

He's definitely the most expensive one I have on this list, and you're right. He's likely priced way out of the Stars price range, but I figured I'd hear from Devils fans instead of just assuming that for myself.
