Confirmed with Link: [MTL/TB] Sergachev + cond. 2nd (2018) for Drouin + cond. 6th

[Cobra Commander]

Sergachev at 19 is better than Drouin at 22 tho

No way, Sergachev wouldn't have produced like that here, Tampa is planets better then us. Drouin would probably be a PPG player in Tampa.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Unfortunately I don't think so. I'd wish for him to prove me wrong, but I don't see him being more than a 20-25 goal, 55-65 point player.

Well time will tell, we signed him for 6 more years...

You're definitely right about that.

I disagree with Drouin being a ppg in Tampa. He probably would have 3-5 more points in Tampa compared to MTL. But I do agree Serg wouldn't have the half the points he has now if he was still in Montreal.

He would still be our best LHD by a fair margin. Like it would not be close.

Yet he was around .75 ppg last year in TB. He'd probably be slightly higher thanYanni Gourde at this point(between 19 and 25 pts depending of your optimism.)

Sergachev * 0.5 would still be our 3rd D. Chance are high he would be 1st or 2nd.

 

[VAN-HAB]

Serghachev is better than all of our D.

 

[DAChampion]

I would definitely trade Weber for Sergachev.

 

[muzion]

It's funny to me how the French media trashed Sergachev upon being traded, when in the Memorial Cup, he was clearly better than Chabot while being a year younger.

 

[LeHab]

All this for Sergachev with less than 15min of ice time. Least TOI among regular TB Ds. Impressive but I still like Drouin...who should be playing at his regular position.

 

[VAN-HAB]

I would definitely trade Weber for Sergachev.

So would all GMs in the league, except our dumb and dumber

They're developing him and doing a great job at it.

 

[MSSLYNX]

Individual production is not directly in line with the team's standings. Galchenyuk had his better year the season Price missed (2012?) and padded his stat line in losses.

Sergachev would have gotten lots of ice in Mtl. Drouin's production is more of a worry to me.

 

[tazsub3]

They're developing him and doing a great job at it.

you mean they are letting him play his game, and not making sure he is as good at checking as alzner and benn??

 

[DAChampion]

Yeah, god forbid that offense be nurtured lol.

 

[habdynasty]

Sergachev would have failed in Montreal, the coaches would have broke his game .

Only Hedman and Sergachev have eclipsed the double-digits in points for Tampa. He is producing at a 55-point pace, which a bit high, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 45 point talent. The other Dmen are less talented and they don't produce like Sergachev even though they are older and more experienced.

Production is never worrying. But the way he is playing is definitely worrisome. I see in Drouin the same flaws as in AG. He is faster the AG and AG has a better shot but they are very similar players. Not good on faceoffs. Not good defensively. Not very good along the boards. Tendency to float.

Also Drouin honestly is not nearly as fast as people think he is. He reminds me post cancer/injuries Koivu. And that Koivu was not that good and definitely not a player that was driving the offense. I just don't see it in Drouin. I hope he'll prove me wrong in the next 2 years but if i had to bet on who will be the best player between Sergachev and Drouin i would bet Sergachev.

 

[habsterr]

At this point Id rather have Sergachev over Drouin; especially for a rebuild and Drouin hasn't been all that impressive.

 

[webersshot]

drouin has been injured and playing a position he shouldn't be. he's a corner stone to build around but we need to go out get a number 1 centre

 

[Kojo]

Sergachev has the potential to become the best defenseman overall and Drouin has the potential to become top 10 forward in the league but he's from here and he speak french. Should have kept Sergachev.

Edit: Also, we lost Markov and Radulov who would have had instant chemistry with Sergachev. Add in Galchenyuk to the mix and this line would be feared throughout the league despite never winning face offs.

Sergachev here too. 3 yrs younger. Position of greater need than w.

Drouin's off-ice issues was a thing for me. And size difference especially when the bigger player is a great skater.

I want to say a quick hello to that regular poster here who claimed Sergachev was homesick and would not even report to Tampa.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Both players would be better in TB but the Drouin trade only made sense if we were trying to capitalize on the Cup window our GM refused to accept existed

The loss of Markov and Radulov and adding nothing else was an epic fail

 

[Bobby Orr's Knees]

I went to the Bolts game tonight. A Flyers fan living in Tampa now, go figure. This is the first time I saw Sergachev play for the Bots. I saw a strong, aggressive, fast, and always dangerous player. He is a Subban type of a D - in a sense that he brings a lot of spice to the game. Made some good defensive plays, made a couple of mistakes. Covered the ice very quickly, moved with power, and frankly looked dominant at times. He doesn't Provorov's IQ, or Werenski and McAvoy's maturity. But I will be shocked if he isn't a dominant top-pairing D by 25 yo.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Nooooo!!!! Don't do this trade! Oh crap, this went down months ago? What?! Well frick me!
