He seems exhausted with all of the losing, which I don't blame him for. He wasted like 70% of his prime on a dumpster fire team already. I think he probably will test the market as well, which puts the Devils in a tough spot. You should be able to get a really nice return for him, but then you're opening up a significant hole that will set the team back next year.
Under no circumstances should we try and resign Severson. We need guys who can clear the crease, which is one of his major flaws, and can defend properly in our own zone. If we’re going to roll with Hamilton, Severson, Smith and eventually Hughes and possibly Shak, that’s a pretty horrible cast of defenders to have in our own zone right there.
We should be packaging Severson with picks/prospects to get a legit top #6 winger, not handicap our defence by handing him a 6 year deal.
