Barzal + Chabot for Sergachev

**Smurf54** · August 30, 2023, 8:12 AM

Team/league details in signature. I've got more players than I can keep, and have explored some 2-for-1 deals. Another GM has this deal on the table. Thoughts? Is Sergachev worth the swap?

Youve got a crap ton of firepower at F but very thin at D after Dahlin - I’d be trading 2 of your Fs for a very high end D.

That's pretty much what I am trying to do. Have made enquiries about Maker/Fox/McAvoy/Heiskanen et al, with not much interest so far. I'm wondering if Sergachev is enough to move the needle and pull the trigger on this deal.

Is it Barzal + Chabot for Sergachev- not Vhychrun?

If so I definitely would do that.

Yes, I'm an idiot. Forgot my coffee this morning! Post title has been corrected.

Maybe bit much to pay even if you have more than enough forwards

i also liked more with Chychrun than Sergachev

I like the addition of Sergachev to your keeper group as well as your D core. He will contribute more to your setting’s than Chabot.
I feel a bit of an overpay by adding a non-keeper is completely justified. That extra player isn’t worth anything to you after you declare your keepers.

It is a bit much but i’m factoring in how injury-prone Chabot is.

I'd do it, because it's really Barzal or Chabot from your roster for Sergachev. Yes it probably helps them as well if they have bad keepers, but trades can be win-win.

I like the Sergachev return if a team is going to lose assets (one of Chabot and/or Barzal) anyways.

This one is dicey because both Chabot and Sergachev are in battles for that #1 PP on their respective teams. Chabot is a little bit more of a sure thing, but Sergachev is a Hits/Blocks monster and offers a high floor for scoring even if Hedman pushes him back to PP2. I'd love to get more of a sure thing, but doesn't sound like that's available here.
