Sergachev still doesn't have his NTC kick in. So I guess it's possible. Is Sergachev an upgrade over Hanifin? Because his caphit suggests he can carry his own pairing. Which I have some doubts about. He was great whenever paired with Hedman, but only average with anyone else.

I also don't think he will be too happy in the next 3 years during the rebuild.

JBB isn't trading Sergachev for 2 pending UFAs Seraalli is a royal joke there's absolutely no guarantee of Hanifin signing long term in Tampa as he's the only one who has made mention of it and nobody else.

Read the proposal mate. It’s a sign and trade for Hanifin. He is trading for a signed Hanifin and UFA Tanev.

chris johnston didnt exactly say that hanifin preferred tampa but he said," There's a number of teams with interest but keep your eye on tampa ... they are believed to be looking at him with Mikhail Sergachev injured."

I dont think JBB would trade sergachev after just giving him an 8 year extension, idk the last time that a player was traded on the first year of their 8 year deal but it doesnt happen too often

I read it, And i said there's no guarantee of Hanifin signing long term in Tampa, Tampa is on the decline and not even Hanifin can save that team.

Ahh the F***ING delusional they're going to suck in 2 years BULLSH**. Been hearing that 💩 since 2017

I never said that, But 3-4 years is very likely and this coming from a 30 year Lightning season ticket holder.
