Thread: Severson Deal Extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Severson has been our #1 dman in time on ice for last 5-6 years. So I have no idea where you are getting this from.
Marino isn't taking minutes from Severson...he is taking Subban's old role and probably stealing a few defensive situation minutes from Hamilton.

Severson is very good defensively...especially on the rush and on controlled d-zone exits.</div></div>

Was gonna write this, but would just add that Marino really isn’t a 3rd pairing D.
Getting Marino in just meant that Devils are gonna run one of the strongest RHD corps in the NHL for the year with Severson and remain as strong with Nemec drawing in for next season.
Apart from Calgary I cannot think of any team we’re Severson wouldn’t play on the second pairing.

Thread: Copp Deadline Trade Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Kaut and a pick not a 2nd is where I would top out. You aren’t re-signing Copp so he’s a pure 3rd line rental. Helleson is a real asset, it’s one thing trading him for someone like Giroux or Miller. But hey that’s just me.</div></div>

Kaut is a bust and a 3rd round pick doesn't even get the conversation started. If the Avs don't want Copp that is fine but because he can be 50% retained to only carry a $1.8M caphit I think there will be a bidding war to add him as 50+ point jack of all trade forwards don't typically come with such a low hit.

Teams tight to the cap means less buyers but also greater competition for the few valuable players that can be fit.

Helleson is just finishing up his 3rd year of college and if you don't ink him this offseason he can go back for his 4th year and then go UFA. given the RD on the Avs roster and Barron in the prospect pool, it wouldn't be crazy for him to decide he could make NHL money somewhere else but will be stuck in the AHL for a while on the Avs. There is risk there as it not like he's under contract with the Avs like if he was playing in the CHL.
