His agent, or someone, is now saying he could return with as much as two weeks left and will be available for the playoffs. It sounds suspiciously like damage control.
Only issue is, Will any GM risk trading for him. And then risk that he is out for the season and playoffs. Probably too big of a risk for a team to take.His agent, or someone, is now saying he could return with as much as two weeks left and will be available for the playoffs.

i dunno about this one. his playoff stats suck
I think it depends on what the deal is an what CBJ's expectations are. If they want an asset in return I don't see why a team does it unless they have a very strong sense that he would be back. But I could see a team like Edmonton taking Nyquist in a deal for Gavrikov with retention to balance some of the cost. Retaining Gavrikov right now at 50% woold cost CBJ about $1.7M in real dollars. Shedding Nyquist saves them roughly $2M dollars eliminating the full cost of retention in dollars and in fact saving teh team around $300K. .Only issue is, Will any GM risk trading for him.

i realise that but cap space is very limited. is this the guy you want to commit to? i think id take a long look at other options first.I mean like half of his playoff games happened in his first 5 seasons, at the tail end of Detroit being a decent team.
And then 10 games with Columbus.
And a Cup Final trip with SJ, with 11 pts in 20 games
At this point of his career you likely grab him as a support to your top 6, not as a key cog
Can remove Nyquist from the trade board, now

Of course we have no idea how CBJ values that money that they will need to spend on Gavrikov.
Zero chance he gets a first

see you already have to involve another team. so the price is already inflated. not sure you're properly factoring in cap space. even at 1.3m that would make him the main acquisition for a lot of teams.Depends. Cap space is overrated on these boards. He'd cost 1.3M after double retention.for a middle 6 vet, its platable
Foligno was the same AAV, had terrible offebsive stats as well and got Columbus a 1st and a 4th, despite reauiring the Sharks to eat some salary for double retention.
All depends on the market and what teams are offering vs looking for
He might be worth a cond. 2nd.
3rd becomes a 2nd if he is fit to play in the offseason.

foligno was a bad add so that doesnt help your case at all and he was added before the big cap pinch. cap space is less available now.
i think most teams should take a long hard look elsewhere first.
Yep, we have a Wheel of Injury that we spin every week and this week it went with "Nyquist" and "shoulder", Johnny is the one that inflicts the injury while the rest of the team holds the "winner" down.Columbus ain't even hiding that they're trying to intentionally tank.
I mean being at the top of the man games lost to injury is intentional...smhColumbus ain't even hiding that they're trying to intentionally tank.
yeah because we're totally deliberately injuring guys we actually were already planning on trading at the deadline it all makes so much senseColumbus ain't even hiding that they're trying to intentionally tank.

inflated in the sense that you have another party to pay. how many double retained player were moved at last years deadline?What inflated price are you talking about? I've seen people discuss a 2nd here with Nyquist retained and a cap dump going Columbus' way.
GM's make cap space work. Look at last year's deadline in capfrienxly. So many players carrying cap hits of >1M changed address.
Like, obviously Nyquist wont return a 1st + prospect, but a 2nd or 3rd rounder is definitely realistic
so blatant amiriteTrading your 33 years old pending FA who's injured until playoff time = Tanking
