The trade deadline is only a few hours away, and Tom Fitzgerald recently revealed that he wants to try to add more “grit” to the roster. However, with Max Domi now heading to Dallas, the Devils haven’t seemed to make the initiative to add another piece before the deadline. Speaking of trades, Damon Severson recently revealed his concern toward Jesper Bratt after the acquisition of Timo Meier. Since both of them are set to become restricted free agents after this season.

Severson should only be concerned with himself. I don’t see any chance he gets an extension or is on this roster next season.
Wtf why?
Severson should focus on his play he’s made some costly mistakes this year and wouldn’t be shocked if he got traded before the deadline
He's going to wash for Tom Wilson
Main concern is Bratts agent. His Swedish low agency are not used to handle high end NHL players and he wants his cut. Suspect he will haggle with his golden goose in bratt unfortunately for the Devils. Bratt for 7×6,5 = perfect. Suspect Timo will settle for 8,5.
All I can say is the Devils will sign Bratt before they even think about signing Meier. The Devils won’t disrespect Bratt like that! He’s been here first and will be taken care of first. I think Sevo comments are based on that. He wants his friend to get his first.
This narrative about not paying anyone more than Jack is being overemphasized. They were already going to offer Johnny Gaudreau more than Jack.
Team discounts are great and everything but I don't think we can keep asking every player to do it. Money is obviously important to Bratt especially if it's got Sevo talkin about it, and we know how contract talks have been. Some guys just want money and will earn every penny and I think the Devils are going to have to pay up for both players. 8-9 mil each. Still have 16-18 mil for Graves and RFAs. Idk about Tatar. He's good now, but last 2 years, no.
Tom Wilson would be a good pickup but are the Capitals going to be sellers.? Goal tending may be another need since Vanecek has been inconsistent as of late, but Schmid has been really solid.
Yeah. This is so obvious. They afford both guys easily because Severson, Wood, and Blackwood will be gone – that is 10,166,667 right there. Done. Bernier 4 mil as well, but his money was already not on the cap because of injury.
We should get Henrique from the Ducks! He'd be cheap and would be the best bottom 6 addition we could get. 2 way responsible forward, plays PK, still scores, and is a leader and veteran.
No chance. Bratt is worth way more than 6. That's insulting. Fiala is making 7.875 million. That's what Bratt is worth
Severson is underrated by the fanbase but he will not be worth what he asks for on his next contract. Especially not since we will have to shed some cap to fit all key pieces in. Plus I really hope Tatar is signed, he's been stellar. Haula is also underrated by the fanbase but he definitely isn't putting up enough points, wouldn't mind him centering the 3rd line though if the money and term isn't high.
I like that Severson is looking out for his buddy. Great teammate.
Severson should shut up lol 😂 Severson won’t even be there next year.
Bratt has had 2 opportunities to extend his contract.
"my opinion" Honestly i am kinda tired of the Severson critique lately. Yeah he makes a boneheaded play at times, yeah he may not be a superstar defender and he should be traded and all that.. BUT. Who was there to fill the void when Dougie was injured last year and ate big minutes every game and stepped up? Severson..
Who is a player that regardless of constant mocking and critique by the fans has always been loyal to this team? Severson. He wants to be here, so maybe he would sign a cheap team friendly deal. At this point. He has been loyal to the team through all the bad hockey years. And now that the team is coming together you want to just ship him off like that? I think he deserves a little more respect than what he's been given.
Bratt isn’t gonna get slighted. Sevo is TF. Nemec has arrived for a reason😂
One of the guys on another channel said, domi wasn’t a good idea because of the shit his father said, about Stevens , I agree with him, we don’t want Ty Domi in the building Lolol.
Severson's heart is in the right place, but maybe something he shouldn't have said publicly.
Sharangovich for Wilson. One for one.
Am I wrong or is Severson the MOST ROLLERCOASTER NHL player of all time? One second he makes an insane 2 on 1 break up, the next he is diving, slashing, and tripping without coming close to the puck.
Bratt is gona get hichier money and Timo will get 8-8.5 I believe
We could use some more grit and toughness on this team but not if it's going to cost serious draft capital, we're not nearly as desperate as some other older, more veteran-laden teams, to make a deep Cup run this year.
Sevo's the reason why fans are flocking to buy #96 Timo Meier jerseys instead of #28 Timo Meier jerseys right now, lol. I can understand where he's coming from but we need everybody on that team to pull in one direction.
I've been hearing a lot about Tom Wilson joining the Devils, my question for you Trey is what are your thoughts about the possibility of Wilson joining NJ?
As for Bratt and Meier, I don't think they're going to sign for anything less than $8 million per year apiece. As much as I'd love to see them sign team-friendly deals, David Pastrnak just signed for $90 million over eight years.
I don't think that would be unreasonable because these next contracts might be the last ones they sign for big money. While Hischier and Hughes are underpaid now, I fully expect them to get extensions several years from now.
Devils need some physichal players or they're going to get pushed around. Offense is not the issue. They don't play any defense. How does that work in the playoffs?
Lazar to the devils! Solid, physical player who likely replaces Haula/Wood next season for cheap!
Trade Severson
Hey man. I don't understand how you think Wood brings any grit to this team. He's a shell of what he used to be. Not gritty at all. Lost all hope on him when he let the Panthers bully Nico. Here are some hits per game stats.
Bastian 2.09
Timo 1.96
Palat 1.92
Smith 1.73
McLeod 1.60
Wood 1.37
Wood has 1 fight this year. Smith, McLeod and Bastian all have 3. He needs to be scratched not Bastian. Love you bro.
No way Bratt signs for less than 7.5 and Meier less than 8.5. Probably going to have to let Bratt go for a Buchnevich level player at 5.8. Which would be fine they need more size anyway. Sevo and Graves probably don't resign as they will be looking for 5-6 each. Is what it is.
Idc, Damon’s gone next year. So it doesn’t matter what he thinks, just a clown.
Bratt and Meier could sign for $8 million each and we still have $20 million for the rest of the free agents.
Severson should concern himself with not giving away the puck in his zone and drawing unnecessary penalties. He is paid way to much and Graves needs to stay – I only wish Severson could have found another home. Domi is not worth a 2nd round pick.
bring the swiss guys together, hishier, meier and sigenthaler thy know each other from hockey wc 💯
Severson is the worst Devil in franchise history. An albatross who was always almost good – just good enough to take up the roster spot of a good defenseman
They all wanted 10 mil a year but they want to be on good team too 😔
