Vasilevskiy and Hedman are both the best players (at least top 3) in the league at the position they play. Sergachev is a quality defenseman as well. Vasilevskiy and Sergachev are locked up long term, while Hedman is signed for this season and two more.
Matthews is likewise a top 3 player at his position. Rielly is a good defenseman, but he's not in the top 10 in the league. Robertson is a B+ prospect at this point. Matthews is a UFA at the end of next season.
Tampa would be trading away their generational goaltender and defenseman for a year and a half of a generational scoring talent. Is three late 1st round picks enough to make up for that? I don't think so.
