Ill say it before anyone else, STL has zero need or room for severson and are not going to give up ROR for that unless they are trying to rebuild, which they wont and if they were then they wouldnt want Severson either

Why would we sacrifice our RD depth for a rental? If we're buyers, we're keeping Severson

Blues already have Parayko and Faulk on the right side. Is Severson going to play on the 3rd pair for us? Also that trade does nothing for the blues. We are trying to compete and I'm pretty sure if we were sellers at the deadline we could get a better offer that suits our needs more than a first and Severson

ROR would be great...but to play 3C for us? For a couple of months?

And trying to imagine the situation where Blues would be buying RD at deadline...but selling their captain. And Devils are buying a Center at deadline, but selling Sevs.

Seems kinda low-probability to me.

Kinda low-probability is being extraordinarily kind. This makes zero sense for the Blues.

Fun scenario, because a veteran like ROR would probably be great for Nico and Jack. But agree, unlikely trade.

Barbashev maybe

Totally agree unlikely would love to see him in NJ though as a 3rd C devils rolling out 3 solid lines and if blackwood gets it together could be dangerous

And would only trade if they both sign long term

It would need to rise 32 levels just to reach unlikely status.
