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
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.Gavrikov is gonna cost a Chiarot-type return.

Late to the party.....Does he have a name?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.
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.
Larkin is about the only guy who could move that I’d give up Lysell/Lohrei for.So, a name I heard today that I have not seen yet for those worried about our C position past this summer:

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.
I too would like a top pairing D playing on our 3rd pairingI 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.
Would never be unhappy adding a guy with cup experience for depth like him.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.
100%Larkin is about the only guy who could move that I’d give up Lysell/Lohrei for.
I wanted him last year, he’s this seasons chiarot, someone will regret giving up a first for himLuke 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
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 lolI wanted him last year, he’s this seasons chiarot, someone will regret giving up a first for him
I would pay that late 1st for him if that is the cost but rather it be 2nd .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.
Why don't you look at his analogs first before hitching your wagon to it.Would never be unhappy adding a guy with [email protected] experience for depth like him.
David Perron is my dream add but no chance for a host of reasons unfortunately.
I mustva caught MarchysNoseKnows asleep or his phone didn't go offHonest question who would you rather up grade on the left side Grzecyk or Forbert.
Should I do a Poll??????????????
