The Lightning have traded Jonathan Drouin and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2018 to the Montreal Canadiens for Mikhail Sergachev and a conditional 2018 second-round pick.
Rumours started to grow that Drouin was possibly going to be moved to Montreal for Alex Galchenyuk and possibly a 1st round pick, instead Yzerman makes this move. My initial reaction is really? Personally I think the Habs win this deal. For the vast majority of the offseason I expected Drouin to be moved but in return I thought he would land the bolts an established top 4 NHL defenseman, instead the Lightning acquire a prospect for Drouin, all be it Sergachev is a very talented prospect but still the blueline needs addressing now.
I am disappointed about this deal, I have been a Drouin fan since leading up to his draft year and I think the Lightning get the short end of this deal but I'll guess we will have to wait and see how Sergachev develops. He turns 19 next week and has played 4 games for the Habs last year and was their 9th overall pick last year so he's certainly a talented prospect but he's got a long way to go but the Lightning organization must think highly of him to make this deal.
