Lightning Round: Details of contract negotiations with Mikhail Sergachev

After the Tampa Bay Lightning announced his new deal on Wednesday, Mikhail Sergachev spoke to Pavel Lysenkov, a writer for the Russian version of NHL.com, about his first feelings and how this deal became real. In general, the Russian defenceman seems very happy.

If someone told me that i’m going to make such money, when i was a 10-year old kid playing in Nizhnekamsk, i would have never believed! I’m very happy with this contract and Tampa Bay too. This is the most important thing and we also have the spirit to win another Cup.
