I'd be fine with this trade working out for both sides. The early returns are definitely working out for us. It almost feels greedy to say we could still get a middle sixer with that 2025 2nd rounder.

Though I will reiterate what my initial concern with trading Serge was - I don't know who in the system could reasonably replace Hedman or even McD in a couple years. Number 1's aren't commonly available for trade or in free agency. As we saw with Serge (who wasn't even established as a #1), you have to trade a lot.

The biggest problem with Sergachev is he wasn't that guy either. But he was being paid like it.

I think the reality is replacing Hedman will require a rebuild. Almost impossible to just come up with a #1D mid-run.
