I agree good is a much more apt term then great in those respects. But for his style he does have good size, and plays a pretty physical game, again for his style. I also think your overly harsh in grading his defensive deficiencies.Replace the above with, "good", "good", "NHL average weight & height", and "soft", and you'd be correct.
Still doesn't negate all his glaring defensive deficiencies for my money.
I will concede towards the last 1/4 of the season last year Severson noticeably started taking the body more, which is a huge positive & encouraging, but he's still below average in this category for an NHL defenseman.
I think he is a good 2nd pair d-man, with the potential for continued growth.
I also think that with Subban taking some of the more difficult minutes(again Sev's played very difficult minutes last year) that Sev's will just look better by having easier matchups.
