Confirmed with Link: [TBL/MTL] D Mikhail Sergachev + cond. 2nd (2018) for L Jonathan Drouin + cond. 6th (2018)

[Maelmoor]

After some consideration I actually like this trade a lot!

 

[Mogo]

Ouch and weird they'd do it within division.

 

[Cigar City]

Alex Killorn. Over Jo Drouin.

What is life?

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Wonder with the cap hit savings if yzerman makes a move in free agency for a Dman on a short deal.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Watch us protect Killorn now

Great

 

[Its a Bolts Life]

Whats the scoop on Sergachev, whats his floor/ceiling/job(puck mover,dfd)?

 

[Sky04]

And now we have to fix the PP again and still don't have a RHD.

 

[Gargyn]

To the people complaining that he shoots left, he plays the right side all his life.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

In the end Drouin had to go or he was going to be a distraction again. The return is unproven but with a ton of upside. Trust the Y-man

 

[HoseEmDown]

To the people complaining that he shoots left, he plays the right side all his life.

He better have a damn good backhand.

 

[Sky04]

If you thought we were bad raving about Drouin, now look what's going to happen with THAT fanbase.

He will instantly be their new favorite player.

Lets hope Palat, Johnson and Stamkos don't pull their annual injury/ghost routine now.

 

[Oxbow Lakes]

Why? I really hope now Drouin asked for a ridiculous contract because otherwise **** this trade.

At least we can protect Killorn now vittu.

 

[DatDude44]

sergachev should anchor your 2nd pair behind hedman for years to come. I have to assume nobody offered them anything they liked for killorn and decided having killorn and sergachev is better than only having drouin.

and by the time sergachev needs a big raise, all those bloated contracts will be off the books.

I'm personally excited for what this means for Brayden Point, hoping this gives him an expanded role and more PP time. Luv his game, was pissed my blues didn't draft him in the 2nd that year.

Alex Killorn. Over Jo Drouin.

exactly my thoughts, Steve better have a solution for this.

 

[JoVel]

Wow, didn't see this coming. The value is all right but how does this help us now?? We're going for the cup, not rebuilding.

 

[Felonious Python]

Drouin isn't exactly washed up.

It's trading an elite F prospect for an elite D prospect.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

This trade might look better when Drouin's contract is signed. I wonder if Walsh's demands are completely unreasonable.

 

[Cmac66]

Does this mean that Yzerman is looking at bringing Gusev over for next season?

 

[T REX]

We need help NOW not 3 years from now.

I do not like this trade at all. If we keep playing for the future we'll never win anything.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Wow, didn't see this coming. The value is all right but how does this help us now?? We're going for the cup, not rebuilding.

We're only in June, we don't know how much money Drouin was asking, we don't even know whether he wanted to say here.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Opens up a lot of cash. Steve gonna take another shot at Shatty?

 

[Felonious Python]

Does this mean that Yzerman is looking at bringing Gusev over for next season?

to the AHL first most likely.

Gourde getting a contract could also be in the cards.

*looks at name of website*

doesn't check out.

Trade only looks good for us if this kid pans out.

Tampa is in very good shape now with the cap. He has money to work with now. So think this could be a good thing for the immediate future for Tampa.
