Incredible trade.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Absolutely love it in the short and long term. Well done Fitz.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Great deal. Severson ain’t getting extended.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Tells me Fitz isn’t too worried about having enough space to re-sign everyone else.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Wow, that felt like it came out of left field.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Interesting deal for both sides (EDIT: Sorry, thought this was the main board)

 

[jkrdevil]

Wow they actually pulled the chute and cut bait on Smith.

Value of: Damon Severson

 

[RSeen]

Incredible trade.

Agreed. We have our shut-down long-term RD on the roster now. This likely means Severson is not with the team beyond this season but Morino is younger at 25 and signed for 5 years at a good value cap hit.

For reference, he's a top end player defensively.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Sorry to see Severson go but this is a smart deal. Ty Smith had no future in NJ and Severson was going to be too expensive.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Wow, that felt like it came out of left field.

That’s usually what happens with Fitzy.

that EV Defense <3

I’ll admit I don’t know anything about this guy but man it’s crazy few years ago everyone on here thought smith was the best d man in that first round. Now he’s gone. Can’t always believe the hype around draft picks

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

Well Fitz ain’t sitting on his hands that’s for sure. Wish Ty the best but heck yeah I’ll take Marino. He’ll be a fantastic partner for Luke.

 

[Billdo]

Holy shit... guess Severson is gone sooner than later.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I think I said the other day I wouldn't be surprised to see Smith traded before the season started, didn't think it'd be so soon though lol. He's just a bit redudnant on our team and his skating being Butcher-esque doesn't help.

I've heard good things about Marino. I remember maybe like a year ago I saw some clips on Twitter showing the subtle plays Marino made throughout a game that were really slick defensively. Excited to see what he can do and gotta wonder what'll happen with Severson now.

Big Match John

 

[Blender]

Apparently the difference between these two players was a 3rd rounder.

 

[Better Call Sal]

For reference, he's a top end player defensively.

Oh f*** yeah!

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Holy shit... guess Severson is gone sooner than later.

I’m guessing he’s here at least until the deadline. May just play out his contract.

 

[RSeen]

Well Fitz ain’t sitting on his hands that’s for sure. Wish Ty the best but heck yeah I’ll take Marino. He’ll be a fantastic partner for Luke.

Fitz did hell of a job on this trade given the year Smith had. I strongly dislike the Palat deal but he makes up for it to an extent here.

 

[Forge]

Impossible not to love the long term cost control.

 

[Killing Joke]

That’s bad for pitt.

Marino is slightly overpaid based on metrics & impact, but that’s fine. I do wonder what this does with Severson given how they drafted nemec, got Marino, and have Hamilton for another 6 years
