Underratad player but he is not worth that much

Sergachev is an outstanding defender
But that's a whole lotta money

A 5 million dollar defenseman with a 7.2M QO before ^this you mean

$6mil i could see...but this seems like a lot. especially for 8 years.

How is this going to fit in the cap? Who gets moved next year Stamer?

Tampa doesn't usually overpay like this. What's happening down there?

Cirelli already done: 8 x 6.25M

Foolish and of me to think TB would have cap problems

They still might, Cernak isn't done yet

Well, so much for our pipe dream that Sergachev could be the good young #1 left defenseman Rob Blake said that we were interested in acquiring. We probably couldn't have afforded anything over $6 million, and Florida is a no-state-income-tax jurisdiction.

The overall Bolts fan reaction "Sorry, what?!" while spitting their coffee.

Well, people can stop whining about no state income tax.

3 overpays today.

That is hideous

Too much.

What Tampa is doing in this offseason with tons of 8 years contracts and overpayment? I think they don't want to win cups anymore.

Mikhail Sergachev: 8 years, 8.5M per year (68M overall)
Anthony Cirelli: 8 years, 6.25M per year (50M overall)
Eric Cernak: 8 years, 5.2M per year (41.6M overall)

TBL just sunk over $150,000,000 into 3 players in the span of 10 minutes.

Overpayment.

oh naw they didn't

This contract finally get other teams chance for Stanley Cup. Era of dominance is ending here...

Put it this way: are you comfortable with Sergachev playing Hedman's minutes? If not, then he shouldn't have hit anything close to this.

If his QO was north of $7M, I'd have signed him to a 1-2 year at that, or even this number. But to go 8 years on a guy likely playing most of those on your 2nd pair? That's too much.

I am, he played the opposite minutes all playoffs. Seemed like if Hedman wasn't on they would put Sergachev on and they where very close.

Unless they were down in which case both would play together.

Hard to look like the Leafs when you're paying guys who have actually accomplished something

Why if you compare him to Hedman at the same points in careers Sergachev has been better

He's going to be 33 when it ends. He's 24 if You compare 18-24 Victor Hedman to 18-24Mikhail Sergachev Sergachev has better numbers. Much rather give a 24 year old 8 yeats than a 27-28 year old pay for his prime years this will look like a great contract in 3 years.
