This past season felt like a true coming of age transition for Mikhail Sergachev. His offensive capabilities were always world-class, but his defensive game was the area he needed to hone. During the 2019-2020 season, he did just that as he became one of Tampa Bay’s best two-way defenders. In a sense, he became the exact player everyone expected him to be after his acquisition in the Jonathan Drouin trade with the Montreal Canadiens.
