They’ve been interested in the Arizona D-man before and he has term.29043Just an idea running through my head: Columbus moves Gavrikov and uses the return assets to try and add Chychrun.

Bob acted like a child on his way out of Columbus and demanded a king’s ransom to stay. Gavy made it known immediately that he was going to play out his contract then leave for free agency, like a professional.2@F1RETHECANNON Bob and Gavrikov are two incredibly different scenarios.

They had interest back when they traded for Brenden Dillon. I don’t know if I like this for the Jets as it will probably cost a 1st+. He has a cheap contract now but will probably be asking for 5M+ on an extension. twitter.com/thefourthperio…David Pagnotta@TheFourthPeriodAs of this minute, it doesn't sound like a trade has been agreed upon involving Gavrikov, but talks with CBJ have clearly intensified. Scratching him is, for now, to &quot;protect the asset.&quot;6113As of this minute, it doesn't sound like a trade has been agreed upon involving Gavrikov, but talks with CBJ have clearly intensified.

Personally I think it would be cool to grab Boone Jenner, but too expensive of a price to pay.

In his 52 games in the 2022-23 NHL season, he has registered 89 blocked shots and 56 hits.Here's a look at the teams that might be interested in trading for Gavrikov.#1. Arizona CoyotesThe Blue Jackets may trade Gavrikov and some assets to the Arizona Coyotes for Jakob Chychrun. Chychrun will be a huge upgrade in their defense and Gavrikov will likely come off the bench for the Coyotes.#2. Edmonton OilersThe Oilers have been pursuing Gavrikov for a long time but Gavrikov has stated that he does not want to stay in Canada long-term. It remains to be seen if he has a change of heart to join Connor McDavid in Edmonton.#3. Toronto Maple LeafsThe Leafs might look to pick up Gavrikov and pair him with Mark Giordano. Rasmus Sandin will likely be involved in the package going the other way.
