Tampa Bay decided to trade Sergachev, who has been playing for the Lightning since 2017. Together with the team, he won the Stanley Cup twice.
The Russian will continue his career in Utah. This is a new team, which last season was called “Arizona”, but it is forced to change its place of registration.
In compensation, the Lightning received Swiss defenseman Janis-Jerome Moser as well as promising Canadian center forward Connor Ghika. In addition, Tampa Bay received two draft picks in 2024 and 2025.
