What about Zetterlund in place of the 2nd?Devils do not have a 2018 Second FYI. It went to NYR for Grabner.
Speculation: NJD Severson and 2018 #17 OA for LHD

I'd consider it for Klefbom. Idk though, depends on how bad Severson has played this year. Was he really that bad?

He was either really good or really bad. He can be a huge bonehead at times.

He has all the tools — and even showed off his bomb of a slap shot a few times for goals — but it’s all between the ears with Severson. There are times he visibly second guesses himself and coughs up the puck, makes a bad pass, etc. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch night in night out as a fan, because you’re never sure which Severson is going to show up on a given night. Dude looks like he belongs in the McAvoy conversation one night, and then the next night does his best Eric Gelinas.
He’s very young so the upside is tremendous. I personally would like to hang onto Severson and see his story through to the finish, but if there’s something really juicy like Hanifin on the table, you’re not doing your job if you don’t listen.
Here is a good story on Severson by Todd Cordell
http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Todd...-Jersey-Devils-trade-Damon-Severson/159/92888
"Over the last two seasons, only 19 defenders have tallied more primary points at 5v5. Severson has matched the likes of Dustin Byfuglien, Zach Werenski, Ryan Suter and Mathew Dumba in that regard. "
I was impressed by his 5v5 #s. Many Devs fans feel Sevs was being dragged down by Jon Moore. Not sure I saw enough of that this year. Sevs looked bad down the stretch and in a PO game or two without Moore's help.
Fact remains that he is 23, a righty signed to a good deal, has offensive abilities and a good shot. Moore probably wont be back so if Sevs stays he has no one but himself at this point to blame. With that said if we could score a top-ish LHD we should do so, with Sevs as a pkg or not!

no thanks
though the value is probably there, trading Severson for draft picks when you have an immediate need at LHD isn't what the Devils should be doing

This is a pretty brutal offer, honestly.
I wouldn't even come close to considering Martinez for Severson straight up... and NJ downgrading from 17OA to a 3rd rounder makes it even more egregious.

The thread is titled "Severson and 2018 17OA," and you didn't specify that your offer was for anything other than the OP...
Regardless, that's still a no from me.

Good because I have no interest in Severson and a mid first for him as that doesn't make the Canes better right now, which is the goal if we trade Hanifin.
I'd flip Severson with Zacha or McLeod.
You know that I'm not in love with Severson's game atm but we can't afford to give up a promising dman + a potential dman with the 17th overall pick for a 29 year old Muzzin.

Nah.
Show me some "stats" to back that strange claim up.
Truth is, there are FAR more left-handed D in the league than right handed. The chances that "everyone needs" the guys that there are the most of, is beyond slim.
Martinez has raised his level to the point most Kings fan are OK with trading Muzzin. Our D pairing were looking (before the injuries):
Forbort-Doughty
Phaneuf-Martinez
Muzzin-Folin
And Muzzin had a great season last year

Our defensemen are severely underrated. There was a Bruins fan that thought trading Debrusk for Muzzin would be a highway robbery. Guy is a legit #1B Two-Way D signed to a fantastic contract.
As far as Martinez goes he's a solid #3 that can log a shit ton of minutes and play at a high level.
Without saying Muzzin is bad, I must admit DeBrusk is awesome... And 21 y old. If the Kings want to properly rebuild, that is the kind of move they would have to make.

Tanner Pearson put up the same amount of goals as a 21 year old in 32 less games. I believe Debrusk is being overhyped greatly; I'd take Muzzin over Pearson anyday too.
