That leaves Yandle and Morrissey. Yandle comes with the possibility of being traded and thus a role change. If he gets traded somewhere where the power play isn't in great shape or there is already a PP1 dman in place, then his value is damaged. And his plus minus is likely to be a negative.
So you have Morrissey who appears to be in a good spot with Winnipeg's PP1. If you wanted to gamble that he stays there all year, then I'd make the change. If you wanted the safer play, I'd stick with Sergachev. Even with Kucherov's absence, TB will score. Sergachev will probably do something similar to last year. That has value.
