The New Jersey Devils have finally traded away Damon Severson. It has been rumored for quite some time that his tenure with the organization was coming to an end. Especially considering the fact that he was a pending unrestricted free agent and was projected to be a highly sought-after player. Before he hit the open market, Tom Fitzgerald was able to pull off a sign-and-trade that resulted in Severson signing an eight-year contract and then immediately being dealt to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Devils received a 2023 third-round draft pick (80th overall) as a result. Seeing Severson go is sad, but it opens the door for more opportunities.

First! Happy to celebrate his departure
No surprise here, he couldn't be resigned. There was noise that he might go to Detroit that noise has now gone silent.
I can't believe the devils got a 3rd out of it. That's pretty awesome. I figured he would just be on the open market.
Simon Nemec coming up
Severson served us well through some pretty tough years, his occasional tendency to make "the big mistake" kinda magnified his flaws and lowered his value in our minds, but in reality he's a legit top 4 RHD who plays well at both ends of the ice. Glad he got paid, pleased we weren't the ones who did it, and pumped that Fitz was able to get pick #80 in a loaded draft.
That seems incredible. 3rd Round pick for someone who was going to be let go for nothing.
Great deal
Walsh gets no love, 2 yrs ago he was our best RHD prospect .. Walsh & Bahl were a good pairing in the AHL
I think this is a win win all around. I'm gonna miss Damon faults and all he is a really good player and always seemed like a great guy. I'm happy for this new opportunity for him, and he's taken care of with this deal. Good for him. I hope he does really well over there except when the Blue Jackets play us.😈 ❤🖤❤️🏒
Next up ryan graves
Genius move by fitz….. if only lou had done these during his time nj wouldnt have been stripped bear
Yeah….. He could be a bonehead, but he was our bonehead…. ❤
Now Jersey fans can have the joy of seeing Sverson feed his opponents prime scoring chances.
