Thread: Sergachev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DopeGM</b></div><div>Especially a young core piece like Sergachev.

Cernak to Buffalo makes so much sense for both teams.

Sergachev happens to be floating around in my mind this AM because of McDonough and the possibility that Brisebois wants to sell while his injury history is still kind of settling in</div></div>

I personally had Cernak to Utah working out more - Utah has no defenseman under contract with the exception of rights to RFAs, and Cernak would be able to let guys like Durzi and Moser play a more offense oriented game while being under a long term contract. Tons of picks and with an ownership not afraid to spend/move assets to improve the squad, seems like a match made in heaven if TB can squeeze two 2nds out of them. If Cooper plays Sergachev on the right side it opens the possibility for Lilleberg (got some growing pains but still a very solid 3RD) and Crozier's cheap ELCs to take the 3rd pairing. If you're able to retain Perbix too, and let's say Sergachev does get injured, Hedman-Raddysh, McDonagh-Crozier, and Lilleberg-Perbix (last two are interchangeable) don't seem that awful in the greater scheme of things. Wouldn't even call it an injury history for Misha, just god awful luck with two bad leg injuries.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DopeGM</b></div><div>Really? I could see Cernak instead but I’m not sure how they fill out the roster? Or no Stamkos</div></div>

Yeah I had an ACGM where I shipped out Cernak and he's the one piece that can kind of preserve the majority of the core. He's coming off a down year so I'm not sure what value we'd get, but I think he seems like the most likely casualty with guys like Crozier and Schmidt in the system.

Hedman-Raddysh, McDonagh-Sergachev (lefty with RD experience), and Lilleberg-Crozier? Coop loved Lilleberg-Croz in Syracuse, and the only thing stopping TB from running with Crozier was the cap last season. If Cernak's on the way out I think we might see this?

I think TB might just go heavy on the left with Hedman, Sergachev, and McDonagh with 3LD minutes while keeping Raddysh, Cernak, and Crozier/Perbix if he stays.

If we move TJ, Sheary, and/or Perbix, we'd have enough for Stamkos + and ELC player developing in the top six, plus space for maybe a 22 man roster. Might take more work and more phone calls to make it happen, but I'd rather gut the bottom six from expensive pieces and preserve our top 6/top 4 d-men than lose a crucial piece.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I think there 11th pick is around the point in most drafts where you get into hit and miss territory. Your likelihood of selecting Wahlstrom is probably just as high as Villardi.

I don’t believe Boston is in a stage where decreasing their defensive effectiveness fits with their identify. I think the probability that the 11th pick is better than Carlo over the next 4 years is probably in the 25th percentile (since you chose a random one, I might as well).</div></div>

Value is certainly there. If the Bs were rebuilding/retooling, I'd probably accept if I were them, but they're not. They have a boatload of cap space going into next year with a lot of talent, both young and old, on their roster. Trading Carlo just creates a massive hole that they can't really fill elsewhere. Just not the move to make for a contending team
