Confirmed with Link: Utah acquires Mikhail Sergachev (TBL) for Conor Geekie, JJ Moser, 2025 2nd, 2024 7th (#199)

Geekie, 2g 1a in his preseason debut, including the GWG.

Pfft. I bet he can't even bench as much as Beaudoin tho.

 

[Mangosteen]

At least it was a week goal but still. Hopefully I am right and he's a third line center.

I wonder if Panthers #74 Asplund ever read on HFBoards about Geekie's poor skating.

 

[Heldig]

I know it's only a preseason game, but it had already stung enough losing Geekie

I was looking forward to seeing Geekie on the Yotes / HC. Think he will be a solid #2 C. Unfortunately it was the price to pay to land Sergachev.

I think this is the first trade that BA is going to lose by a decent amount.

 

[Mangosteen]

I don't think so, has no consistency. 35 perfect awesome 65 brutal. Hopefully he can prove me wrong. Always want all to succeed

Sergachev can be a mess in his own zone as well. He isn't always consistent himself.

I think both teams are gonna win. I’m more optimistic on Sergachev than seemingly anyone is. But I also really like Geekie and Moser.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

It hurt to give up Geekie but I think it was a wise move.

Bringing in Sergachev doesn't only improve our defense. He can also help Simachev and But transition to North America and help make sure they're happy playing in Utah, not wanting to leave for somewhere else, or decide not come over at all. To help avoid the "Russian factor."

Should be a good veteran mentor.

Pretty sure Drouin initially was also a win

They say who ever gets the best player in a trade wins the trade.

Sergachev is big, young and has tons of playoff experience and two SC's. Those are intangibles which you can not teach. Hopefully his injury doesn't hurt his play. Geekie is the wild card in all of this.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Losing Geekie hurt. But it's not like the team doesn't have other exciting forward prospects in the pipeline. You have to suffer some pain to get real assets in a trade, and Sergachev is a real asset.
