Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: If Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev doesn’t play 40 NHL games this season, the Montreal Canadiens owe the Lightning a 2nd round pick from the Jonathan Drouin trade. Do the Lightning think Sergachev will be more valuable than the 2nd round pick this season? Have to think that at this time they will pick Sergachev.
Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin won’t be making a panic trade. Trading forward Alex Galchenyuk now would be selling him when his value is real low. thinks the Canadiens would trade forward Andrew Shaw and retain salary in a deal.
