MIKHAIL SERGACHEV - Defenseman - 20 - $.894MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 8/21/19
While Sergachev didn't have as much success as he found in his 40 point rookie year, he's still one of the game's most promising young defensemen. Sergachev is a mobile defenseman with a big frame and some serious puck moving chops. He's an effortless skater, and there are few defenseman his age who can move the puck up the ice with Sergachev's level of calmness, quickness, and skill. He's an asset in the transition game and has legitimate high-end offensive upside. Going forward, as long as he can stay healthy and stay in Tampa's top-4, 40 points will be the floor. Defensively, Sergachev is an aggressive defender who uses his speed and size to kill chances, but he still needs to mature. His overall defensive awareness needs some work and as he gains some more experience he should get better. I think he has the size and strength to be a real impact defensive defenseman but he needs to show some definite improvement in his overall defensive stability so that he can be trusted to kill penalties. Right now he's a good puck moving #4 who needs to be paired with a steady veteran partner, but he has real high-end #2 defenseman upside to be a great two-way defenseman with real puck moving value.
