New Jersey's blueline is one of the weakest in the league. While Severson will continue getting better, he needs to be supported by other talents in order to succeed

The easy part is done. The New Jersey Devils have signed defenseman Damon Severson to a new pact worth $25 million over six years, which translates to an average cap hit of $4.1 million. Now, the Devils need to get the young man some backup.

Severson is the best defenseman New Jersey has right now. This is both a positive and a negative...

Pretty rich.

Math doesn't seem right, but I don't think it is a terrible deal when you factor in his age and that he plays in their top 4.


They would be a mess without Andy Greene though

He bought my sister's house in Kelowna this summer. Should have driven a harder bargain.
