Maybe, if he could be locked in for a few more years at a similar cap hit that could be a stop gap until they could draft and develop some quality RHD.

For a one year rental? Gurianov is RFA for a bit still and could be licked in long term at a decent price (he’s struggled to play consistently and will probably take the first secure deal he’s offered) if he has a good season in Jersey. So I’d say for my thoughts I’d want a prospect or pick as well as Severson.

Devils fans may feel the same about their side (Gurianov might be a gamble but his game is perfect for Lindy Ruff who’s not going to make a big deal about not backchecking or making soft plays in the d zone as long as he works hard on the forecheck) they might want more for a quality established RHD so I can see both sides.
