I think there’s a slight overrating of Sergachev and underrating of Johansson in this thread, this seems like a very possible trade. Sergachev is great, at this point he’s a 2D but could become a 1D, but I don’t see him seriously contending for the Norris any time soon. Johansson is a great D prospect, he played great in the SHL last season and has been tearing it up so far this season. Very possible he could come up and excel in the NHL, but he’s still only 20 and may need a bit more time to marinate overseas.
Fabbri is a great middle 6 winger, Namestnikov can be a Swiss army knife (though his spot in the bottom six would be better served for Maroon), and Stecher fills his role on defense very well. Brattstrom would be considered a throw-in normally, but he had a really good preseason and IMO could replace Elliott if he falters. I’d either add another pick so it’s not just a 2nd for futures or replace Namest with Erne (better player and fits bottom 6 role) and this is probably considered on both sides.
