When Jarmo Kekalainen emphasized defense, he wasn’t joking. He has now added a second defenseman to his off-season roster.

For the previous few years, Damon Severson has been a key member of the New Jersey Devils; yet, just as he was about to become a free agent and demand a sizable salary, he got traded.

The Devils have signed Severson to an intricate sign-and-trade deal worth $50 million over eight years, with an average annual value of $6.25 million.

After that, he will be dealt to the Blue Jackets for a third-round pick.

Ivan Provorov was recently acquired by Columbus, underscoring the team’s emphasis on defense.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
