Here is what I wrote in similar post by leafs fan…
——
Pre-Nemec selection, the conventional thought was that Severson extends rather easily this summer. But now with Nemec selected, Luke arriving in April and Mukhamadullin having his first taste of North American hockey, I think the possibility of a Severson trade has gone up.
——
I would keep Severson and still extend him (just with less NTC/NMC protection in years 2-3 of deal).
But a trade, while highly unlikely a month ago, seems remotely possible today.
——
I think he gets Justin Faulk like extension. 6-7 years at around $6.5 million. But I was saying loosen the No-Trade or No-Movement clauses in years 2-3 in case he gets supplanted by the kids.
So while I originally would have said something like:
2023-24: $7.0m (NMC)
2024-25: $7.5m (NMC)
2025-26: $7.5m (NMC)
2026-27: $6.5m (NMC)
2027-28: $5.5m (15-team NTC)
2028-29: $5.0m (10-team NTC)
…now, I would suggest…
2023-24: $9.0m (10-team NTC)
2024-25: $9.0m (10-team NTC)
2025-26: $7.0m (10-team NTC)
2026-27: $6.0m (10-team NTC)
2027-28: $4.0m (10-team NTC)
2028-29: $4.0m (10-team NTC)
Would push more money to top, in exchange for less NTC protection throughout deal.

Sorry about the cut and paste…but saved me some time.
