Sergachev and JT Miller for Kapanen, a 1st (25th) and Leafs expiring contracts is not something a GM as smart as Yserman is ever going to consider.
Sergachev is a gem and would be a top pairing defenseman in a couple of years on the Lightning if they didn't already have Norris nominee Hedman as top pairing LHD.
I'm a Leaf fan but let's get serious.

Good luck trying to pry Sergachev out of Tampa’s hands.

Carolina laughs at that offer. It’s well known they are trying to trade their own defensemen for forwards.

I’m not sure why you don’t think we need our first round picks. All teams need to be holding those picks in the salary cap era so they can replenish depth. All those teams like LA and Chicago, for example, who traded their picks for a chance to “win now” have sacrificed their futures and are paying for it now. Those teams are no longer competitive and might not be again for many years.

JT Miller is a Centre who was playing right wing so Kapanen is a good replacement for him, plus Holl or Carrick
Then both of the first round picks, Pickard, and rights to Bozak go to getting Sergachev because he was drafted 9th overall in 2016 and has already made the NHL and is likely going to be a top 2D next year.

Then you need to replace JVR so trading for Skinner is a good option since Carolina already has Aho and are going to draft the best forward in the draft, who happens to be a left winger.

Sergachev is going no where.

Wishful thinking.
Sergachev will be a Lightning for life.
Yserman doesn't make those kinds of mistakes.
That's why his team is an annual contender.

Gardner for Skinner I would consider as a Leaf fan, as I'm not a fan of Gardner.
But Carolina already has a wealth of defencemen and don't need another so I think they say thanks but no.
I suspect that if you want Skinner from Carolina it would take Leafs 1st (#25).
That or perhaps Johnsson and a 2nd which, as a Leaf fan I would not do!
