What Would Sergachev Realistically Fetch

Interesting question, depends what they want really but id possibly signicantly more than this? havent seen a ton of middleton though to be fair.

They could probably could find a team willing to pay more than this, it's true. But from my perspective, this is a deal that works for both sides-Middleton really looks like an NHL-ready defenseman, his game's a bit raw but solid, kind of reminds me of John Marino, and they get a couple of picks as well. Wild get a solid but slightly overrated D-man IMO who can be stupid and careless with the puck at the most inopportune times. (Playing with Hedman will help your numbers.)

Minnesota has no need for him. Nor the cap. So we will keep our picks and jacob Middletown. Minnesota's d is among the best in the nhl with spurgeon and Brodin. Minnesota sure as heck won't trade Middletown whose been amazing and cheaper. So with all due respect, it doesn't work for both sides. Your reasoning lack Minnesota's need , and doesn't make any sense for wild to take on player who will be expensive to resign

helluva lot more than that lol. Am I missing something? I feel like Sergachev is probably a top pair guy on a lot of teams, definitely a #2/#3 guy, unless he's had some sort of major regression this year? And he's also only 23. Like, he's got one more year at a very nice cap hit, and then someone is gonna want to lock him up through his entire prime, I feel like some team would pay very highly for that (maybe the Ducks or Kings, they could use a top pair LD). Surely worth a 1st+top prospect at least

Fair. This is a bit of wish fulfillment, bec. I'm high on Middleton, and want to see if the Lightning can get a solid return for Sergachev.
