I get that Sergachev is better, but contract has value and situation also contributes. Rasmus likely would stay in Tampa too.

Tampa has $5 mil cap add another $4 mil and you got Stamkos. Who else could they trade to save cap? Rasmus and McDonagh in for Sergachev and the cap to keep Stamkos is a huge win for them. We likely have to add picks and maybe it would need to be Van's 1st but I think they would consider it.

Almost all their high cap guys contribute at a high level, but Sergachev seems to get hurt the most and their d was bad last year. Which is why the added McDonagh back despite the bad contract and age. They don't care about long term, the window is closing soon no matter what they do. Why not make a run now?
Sergachev has a full No Trade Clause effective next season. Pretty sure it kicks in in about 3 weeks.
