There’s truly no reason to not play Gavrikov anymore. He’s not being traded for a 1st+ return anymore so the risk is not as high.

Also, stop getting points; there’s finally some separation between us at 32 and everyone else

The team's priorities are more important. I think it's better to give a chance to those who want to stay here, especially young boys (except Christiansen and maybe Bayreuther because they already played/has played) His feelings and frustration in general are not important.

That’s nonsense. I don’t recall PLD being scratched for “trade related” reasons

PLD signed a two-year deal.

We’re really having this conversation at the same time we’re having the Nyquist-injured-can’t-trade-him conversation?

Let’s quit worrying about Gavrikov , Ok ? Just like he has a right to become a ufa , and go thru the process , the bluejackets have the right to maximize/protect their trade assets . Based on the returns so far , I don’t see why Gavrikov doesn’t return a first , and the deadline is here Friday . Why in the world would you play him , and risk injury ? Let’s hypothetically say he returns a 2nd and 3rd rounder … you know what happens if he played tonight and suffers an injury ? You lose those assets.. just like they did with Nyquist .

PLD signed a two-year deal.

You forgot the part when he requested a trade two weeks after that

I’m personally against scratching players for trade related reasons regardless of circumstances

 

[koteka]

This guy doesn’t care who is playing goalie or who is playing defense.

 

[Cowumbus]

Go Sabres. I hope they make the PO.

I recall PLD taking his infamous shift off in a game and was moved prior to the next one.

You're forgetting that not only was this after signing a two year contract, so the team had plenty of time, but he would also be a before/after contract RFA. So taking two years in Europe wouldn't have helped him either.

Any GM trying to build a team needs to think several steps ahead and not deal with the emotional issues of a player who is UFA after the season. Of course what I mean is that he wants to play.

Btw, this isn't just about Gavrikov, I'd argue the same about any other player who is UFA after the season.

Yeah was about to ask how many goals / points for him tonight. Was it last game where he scored 5 against Columbus?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

The Sabre Rattlers are all bark and no bite!

Jackets lose in OT 5-2

 

[CBJ goalie]

I'm going to this game, think it will be a good one - both teams are playing well lately.

Was kinda hoping to see Korpi in net, since he may not be a CBJ much longer.

I’m confused, first you say play Gavrikov (which should make CBJ better) and then you say stop getting points. Which is it?

Hope the kids look good tonight but still get no points.

Most importantly though, I hope the team announces Gavi has officially been traded before game.

 

[Doggy]

I guess that confirms the morning skate lines from above

 

[stevo61]

Gavrikov is basically no longer part of the team, forgive me if I no longer care how he feels. If the deadline passes and hes still here then things change.

Why not both

My fantasy team hopes Tage goes off again, sadly Tuch is out.

What?! Can you imagine the blowback from fans if we sit him out for two weeks only for him to get hurt tonight that takes him out for the season?! We might not get a first, but we are going to get SOMETHING from a former 6th round pick.

Turning Gavrikov into a 2+3rd would still be a win on Jarmos belt, just not the established defensive piece we were hoping for.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

I’m all for helping out draft odds and simultaneously hurting the Penguins playoff chances this evening.

I recall PLD taking his infamous shift off in a game and was moved prior to the next one.

Wasn’t he benched for the rest of the game? If so, he was essentially scratched for a**hole related reasons.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

I'm sure he was benched for the remainder of the game but that was Torts' doing, not Jarmo's.

If PLD had played the rest of the game as he did his last shift, he wouldn't have even broken a sweat let alone had a chance to break a bone.
