The exact reason I suspect you are making this deal is why the oil would probably say no. It’s all about the money.
Zero questions asked, Sergachev is way more established and valuable. But Oilers can’t afford him at $9M+ he’s gonna need in his next deal. Just can’t. Oilers would be better off continuing to develop Broberg and hope he can become an impact, top 4 guy while the Oilers compete for the cup.
In a vacuum, I know it ridiculous to say no to a deal like this, but it’s just how the NHL is now. Fleury got moved for nothing as the reigning Vezina winner. The cap has completely changed what we see as value now.
