The only reason to trade for Severson would be to flip him so i agree there. I also dont think the Jets get a better offer than that with a few decent prospects. 2nd line center, top4 D and a 1st rounder. Its not far from the Eichel deal.

I cannot see any reason for why the Devils would move Severson for that.

Lol Habs fans...we're just not in to you...

Too much crud, cap dumps, rentals and no quality. Winnipeg says no.

Cap dumps? Maybe Byron could be considered a "cap dump" I guess but he will be on LTIR to start the season and only has 1 year left on his deal, so that really doesn't factor in too much. How can you say that a top 9 center, top 4 RHD man and a 1st is not quality. Add on top of that a 3/4C and a good middle 6 winger prospect and I would say this is a quantity of quality assets.

Yeah there are no cap dumps in the trade. Byron isnt over his hip surgery, wont be ready to start the year, career in jeopardy There he goes again with the exagerrations. Tired.

Well let's look at what the offer is:

Severson - good 2nd pairing defenseman, but a rental. Not a desirable piece for Dubois unless he's extended at a reasonable cost beforehand. Very good quality.

Dvorak - expensive 3C. Not a desirable piece, when trading a young 1C. Marginal quality.

Byron - cap dump. Winnipeg needs to be compensated for taking him and they haven't been. No quality.

Ylonen - okay bottom 6 wing prospect. Okay quality

Poehling - waiver level player. No value or quality.

Late 1st is a late 1st.

So when you look at the individual pieces, you can see the majority of the offer is low value, low quality crud, plus a cap dump and a rental. Just as I said.

A big tip off is, when you are offering 6 pieces for one, you know those 6 pieces don't have a lot of quality, aren't very valuable and aren't desirable.
