Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

fair enough but I think with Sergy, they are looking at potential upside — he just turned 24 and his minutes have been constantly rising

i get it but they just decided to pay him like a #1D and he's literally always been sheltered behind 3 tough matchup guys in Hedman, McDonagh, Cernak.....and just been good in that sheltered role, not great.

still a humongous risk to take on what I consider a still very unproven D-man.

they need a McD replacement, who was their matchup guy for years, and Sergy has no track record that would suggest he can adequately fill that role.

I was honestly quite shocked with the contract and think it ends badly for Tampa. But who knows, he is still young enough he could develop further into a legit shutdown guy.
