I think I prefer Strome for Brodin

Sergchev will be a top pairing LD for longer than Brodin.

He's an offensive defenseman. we already have a bunch of those. IMO we need a shut down guy like Brodin. Sergachev isn't even playing top pair now I believe

He’s behind two pretty notable guys in Tampa. If he plays with Murphy we have a pretty sold D core we can roll out.

Think it's an easy no from TB. They need Sergachev more than Saad, and it isn't likely that Johnson is waiving his full NTC.

If Sergachev can be had, I really think that's a guy we should consider going after. Might have to give up a little more than what's here and Saad is out because TBL can't really afford to take on anymore cap. I'm thinking something like Beaudin, 17th overall and maybe another piece?

I like the thinking here. If Chicago is going to improve on defence next season then the team needs to acquire a stud like Sergachev and reduce Keith’s minutes. If I was Brisebrois, I would pass on that offer. Saad, even with the retention plays long enough for a coffee break. The Lightning won’t be able to resign him. To make this deal work, the Hawks need to offers some prospects (quality players which Tampa can control salary for the next 2 or 3 years)
