"U30" is an enormously euphemistic way to characterize this signing.
I actually like Severson more than most. But he is not worth this contract. And it very likely will age poorly.
And yes. It is fairly clear CBJ is desperately trying to make the playoffs next season. Is Jarmo doing this if he wants to rebuild? I don't think so. Is CBJ a playoff calibre team now? I'm not that confident.
Like if the Canucks did the same I would also criticize them. This isn't CBJ-bashing.
Provorov is 26y and Severson is turning 29y.
So under 30 goes well here.
Why do these moves suggest it’s playoffs or bust for Columbus next season?
You really can’t see the tire fire they were defensively especially with all the injuries they had?
You don’t want to create a losing culture where it takes 10 years to figure things out.
& as it has been said many times in this thread Columbus is ”finished” with their rebuild via draft phase, they’ve committed to that part already& I’m confused if you have missed that.
They have zero reasons to try be a basement level team next year.
