Kings fans want to acquire Sergachev without giving up very much (i.e. a 2nd round pick and a couple A-/B+ prospects). Tampa fans don't want to trade Sergachev, but if they do, they want a Kings ransom (i.e. a lottery pick and Vilardi) in return. The answer, like most things, is probably somewhere in the middle. You're not going to get Sergachev for that return, but you're not going to get Vilardi/Turcotte/Byfield/Bjornfot/Grans plus a 1st round pick either.

I suspect the actual price would be a 2nd round pick and Vilardi or Turcotte, or a 2021 1st (top 5 protected) and Kupari or Thomas. As a Kings fan, I wouldn't do either one, but that's what the price would be.

Realistically, I don't think there's any chance Sergachev ends up in any jersey other than Tampa's.

Thanks! I agree. Kings are probably better off hoping they get Clarke or hopefully Grans or Faber can take on the 2RD someday.
