Utah Hockey Club swings big to land Sergachev
Written by I Dig SportsAfter a dearth of player-centered trades on Day 1 of the 2024 NHL draft, there was a blockbuster to begin Day 2.
One team might be able to keep its captain and possibly add another big player, while the other showed it's serious about taking big swings ahead of the first season in franchise history.

It's a trade with quite a bit of significance for several reasons.
Which GM did better in the swap? Here are our grades for both teams.
