Sergachev+Sheary for Palat+25 1st or 24 2nd
Sergachev+Jeannot for Coleman+2nd
Sergachev+Sheary+Jeannette for Gourde+Larsson
I tend to think Sergachev holds better value in a trade than Cirelli or Cernak. By the same token I feel like Lightning fans only value Sergachev for his age and the prospects of life beyond Hedman. He isnt bad, nor excessively overpaid, but is the most expendable of players on the team higher than 5m AAV. Even ignoring the bringing back former players aspect, I would rather move Sergachev for a cheaper top 6 wing and/or top 4 RHD using the cap savings to resign Stamkos.
Free agency I am only anticipating unqualified RFAs, Euro FAs, UDFAs, or otherwise minimal impact AHL tweeners with entirely buryable contracts. Improve Syracuse and challenge the current AHL tweeners in the system to earn spots. Nothing to get too excited about. No real names. Young depth that needs to WORK for any minutes on the big club.
Sorry, thought I was in the General Lightning discussion thread. Feel free to move there if so inclined.
