Damon Severson was TRADED To The Columbus Blue Jackets in a sign and trade. This doesn’t happen to often and today NJ Devils pending Free Agent Defenseman was traded to the Blue Jackets.
There was rumors over the past couple of days that the Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald was listening to offers on trading Seversons rights, but with this the Devils were able to get a 3rd round pick in the 2023 draft which is considered to be a deep draft. The Columbus Blue Jackets are having a good offseason after recently acquiring Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov in a 3 team trade that also included the LA Kings. They also have the 3rd overall pick in this upcoming NHL draft and could end up drafting highly touted Leo Carlsson.

bring him back as a coach or something
Like IGOR EIGOR EGOR IGORE OR SOMETHING
Stinks to lose him for that number, but, it's a loss of excess. We are lucky to have the defensive depth to be able to say so long to a guy like Damon. He was a good Devil tho, hope he does well.
I’ve never been a huge Sevo’s fan . To me minus 120 through his career speaks a defender who can’t defend regardless of his offensive upside . I wish him all the best nevertheless . Good outcome for Devils and Sevo himself , not sure about Columbus though .
Great trade by NJ considering we were getting nothing for him come July 1. Now Fitz needs to sign Meier or Bratt to a muli-year deal.
Good luck Damon Severson.
It’s a great return for a player they couldn’t afford and weren’t going to sign. I wish he went into the other conduit beggers can’t be choosers.
He's the Fifty Million Dollar Man 😮 Getting a pick of any type is better than nothing 🎉 Is Graves still going? LFGD
Severson is a one man arguement against analytics. I'm not gonna miss him (pipeline looking great or not, which it does😊), and that 3rd rounder will be very helpful.
I was always very lukewarm with Severson. He had his ups and downs, but it’s going to be very difficult to replace his role this offseason. He brought a lot to this team and his contributions will not be forgotten. I don’t think it’s wise to have half of your blue line being rookies. I expect Fitz to bring in a stop gap veteran dman who can kill penalties and take the burden off the young ones. That being said, I’m very happy that the Devils got a 3rd for a pending UFA. Truthfully, he would’ve returned a Orlov level package had he been dealt at the TDL.
It is what it is. No way I’d pay him that. They are stuck with him until he’s 36. They’ll be dumping his salary one day when Luke is in his prime winning games for us..That works not fit with our future place with Luke and Nemec. I wish him the best. He was solid for us.
