Gavrikov is gonna cost a Chiarot-type return. He's pretty cost controlled though.

I'm a fan of only making deals for players we can actually sign, so if he wants to join the B's going forward, I'm cool with it.

His advanced stats look pretty decent on an absolutely dogwater team.

I wonder, if we sign someone like this, do we become the next Nashville Predators? Absolutely lights out defense and goaltending and like 3 good forwards, lol

I don't think management will necessarily sweat signing the guy we trade for given our cap crunch. It's cup time...

He checks all the boxes. If he costs pick 32++ but they take a bunch of cap garbage from us too, I'm in. He was the best guy I could find by a large margin.

Yeah he would be a great add, force Forbort to be the 7th D and also is capable of playing up if Gryz/Lindholm get hurt my only worry is the return...if they traded David Savard for a 1st, 3rd and 4th you would have to think Gavrikov is worth more, unless we believe that Savard went for so much since he is the coveted position of RHD.

Late to the party.....Does he have a name?

Upgrading over Forbort and stabilizing the 3rd pairing a bit more would be nice. I don't know too much about Gavrikov to say if he really is an improvement over Forbort, who I appreciate what he brings but I feel like he's been on the ice for most of the Bruins goals against and chances against lately.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I would really like Gavrikov in Forbort's place. He is a much better skater than Forbort. He is not nearly as easy to attack 5 on 5. Most of the league wants Gavrikov, so do not think we get him.

A lot of the league wanted Hampus too...

I think if you want it bad enough......

So, a name I heard today that I have not seen yet for those worried about our C position past this summer:

View attachment 633208
Horvat is not our only Center who is a UFA after this season.

I have no double Detroit will throw the bank at him, but it is still a possibility if they cant resign him by FA day.

 

[CDJ]

Luke Schenn would be my deadline target


Just give me a physical depth defenseman and a 4th line banger and I’ll be happy. Hell I’ll probably still be happy without either of those things lol we got a pretty sweet roster

Larkin is about the only guy who could move that I’d give up Lysell/Lohrei for.

 

[Gifu]

Olli Maatta could also be a good option for the 3rd pair or depth. He's not as good as Gavrikov but is certainly a much cheaper option. A two-way defender who can play in almost any situation. The contract ends this season. His strengths are in defense and has also played a lot of penalty kill for years. Unfortunately not the fastest player on skates, but not slower than Forbort.
He also has experience in winning which is always a plus. Plays a relatively good year and the cap hit is a little over 2 million. Just another new name for speculation.

I too would like a top pairing D playing on our 3rd pairing

Would never be unhappy adding a guy with cup experience for depth like him.

David Perron is my dream add but no chance for a host of reasons unfortunately.

I wanted him last year, he’s this seasons chiarot, someone will regret giving up a first for him

 

[CDJ]

I don’t know if he’ll cost that much. Probably a 2nd though. If he gets a 1st then idk if I want to trade for anybody lol

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Gavrikov would give a lot of flexibility between him/Grizz/Forbort.

Grizz-Clifton have played well in the past on the 3rd pair as have Forbort-Clifton this season. Think Grizz is a target in the playoffs? Press box. Think we need some more mobility? Put Grizz in there. LHD gets injured? Some insurance.

Gavrikov - Carlo sounds like a great shutdown pair on paper. Well one of two shutdown pairs since the other one is Lindholm - McAvoy

I doubt it happens though. Idk if I'd wanna chuck a first at him.

 

[Root]

Gavrikov would be a great add. He’d be an upgrade on Forbort and Gryz. Not expecting it but it’s the type of move I am hoping for.

I would pay that late 1st for him if that is the cost but rather it be 2nd .
This team deserves best chance it can be given at the Cup.These chances will not come around again for a while is my thinking and definitely gut feeling.

Why don't you look at his analogs first before hitching your wagon to it.

 

[BamBamCam]

Honest question who would you rather up grade on the left side Grzecyk or Forbert.
Should I do a Poll??????????????

I mustva caught MarchysNoseKnows asleep or his phone didn't go off

 

[DominicT]

2 years ago the 32nd pick would have been a second rounder. Most here probably would be okay with trading "a second rounder".

Depends on who the upgrade is. If it’s someone who eats pucks and kills penalties than Forbort for sure.
