That's a lot for Sergachev.

How would you alter the trade? I'm not quite sure of the value of Sergachev and Gourde...

The ask on Sergachev would probably be Bouchard+1st, if they wanted to pay Klefbom’s money to a D they’d just keep Sergachev and bridge him for basically that same money, maybe an extra 300k (they can get away with lower because Florida taxes)

For 2 x 5 Sergachev stays in Tampa DeMelo is looking at 4 x $3.5m he's not signing that cheaply with Edmonton. Tampa wants no part of an aging Klefbom like Alfie11 said any deal for Sergachev probably starts with Bouchard+1st round pick.

I agree that's what Tampa would ask because they probably just wouldn't want to trade sergachev at all. And for good reason. He's a stud. By if I was Holland wouldnt trade Bouchard and a first. Bouchard could end up being a stud top pairing RHD with more value then sergachev in a few seasons. And it was this year's first I would be even more hesitant. Oilers are going to get a very solid prospect at 14 this year. The value of Bouchard and this year's first will most likely out weigh the value of sergachev in only an few seasons. Would be poor asset management on the Oilers behalf if they made that trade.

I mean it frees up probably around 5-6mil in total for the Lightning which would be helpful to bring back Cirelli and maybe a vet like Bogosian. The picks next year would be okay, Samorukov is a nice prospect and Klefbom would be a nice replacement for Sergy, so overall I think the deal would help the Lightning but I think a deal with Bouchard coming back would be more likely for the Lightning. I don't know if the Oilers would be willing to do that especially with how it would impact their cap but it could work.

Yes that is.

But Tampa will probably not do that; gourde, segachev, for klefbom, prospect, and 1 and 3rd. Segachev:klefbom, 1st
Gourderospect,3rd round.
The segachev is good but not gourde

Gourde's contract brings his value down. He was/is effective in a checking role but not a $5.17M player. So I see your trade as the 2021 3rd for him and the rest for Sergachev, which is a lot. Not quite sure what is Samorukov's value/potential but if he becomes a good top6 D, a 1st and Klefbom is a lot for Sergachev. Klefbom isn't elite but he is great as well. I would do Klefbom+3rd or maybe late 2nd. Tampa doesn't have much flexibility; don't let them win a trade.
