General manager “Tampa Bay » Julien Brisebois admitted that it was not easy for the club to decide to trade the defender Mikhail Sergachev in Utah.
The 26-year-old Russian’s trade was completed on Saturday. Sergachev has been playing for the Lightning since 2017. As a member of Tampa, the hockey player became a two-time winner of the Stanley Cup.
“We gave up a two-time Stanley Cup winner, a 26-year-old number one defenseman, and that’s not easy to do.” “Congratulations to Utah for acquiring such an incredible player,” Brisebois was quoted as saying by the Washington Post.
In the upcoming 2024/25 season, Utah will play in the NHL for the first time.
