Sergachev for 1st WHO SAYS NO

Bolts do, values fair but Tampa’s not looking for scratch tickets

Id imagine Tampa prioritizes keeping Sergachev over any of their other free agents and will move mountains to do it

Both say no.

buf says no

It's usually a good sign when fans of both teams say no...

IMO, it's probably a good deal for Buffalo. Sergachev immediately fills a large hole on the back end that they're not going to get any time soon from whoever they nab at 8 OA. He's the right age, and is a star on the back end (Who you'd hope to potentially get at 8OA).

It would fix a lot of potential cap issues in Tampa, but it'd hurt them long term, so if I was them, I'd be looking elsewhere to get my cap problems solved. With him and Hedman, they're pretty set long term on the back end (If they can keep him).
