BPA Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Last I heard was BOS was interested and the price was 3 draft picks (1st, 3rd, and 4th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like either Boston or Edmonton, but neither team currently has cap space. I would love to take on a cap dump for a decent pick. Boston gets a 6th for Smith and a second, or we get Puljujarvi and a second, and retain on Gavrikov? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t be involved then, they would need to get a taker for Cal Peterson and that contract is too long for us. It would make sense why CBJ isn’t involved in him as a cap dump with their goalie depth.

Nope, Motte to NYR for Gauthier and a conditional 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston could easily take on Gavrikov if Columbus retained 50% and also took on Mike Reilly's contract. The ask is probably too high as they would want more picks for the retention and taking Reilly's contract. I suspect it is Edmonton who is all in and they need to move some money out first...

That would sure make the Boston D a frightening bunch. Tough, rough and deep. I think the problem for the Bruins is that the Jackets want a 1st, but probably not the 32nd overall I can see them taking a stab at acquiring Lysell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I mean LA would make sense no? They were close to acquiring Chychrun before the deal fell apart. Gavrikov is a cheaper option for them. Edited February 19, 2023 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are working on multiple deals and want to move Cal Petersen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBJ tried to extend him but he's asking for far too much and LA has to be mindful of cap + he apparently also wants to test free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Friedman they made it clear internally and externally that neither of them are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure he’d be willing to sign in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chychrun still the target though - age fit/cap fit. Arizona is going to be left with no one to trade him to if they don't lower their ask and other teams move on to their B option. He's already missed 4 games - are they really just going to keep him if no one pays up. LA can wait because they don't really see themselves as contenders just yet while Boston or Edmonton etc are going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Kings go after Gavrikov it'll likely just be picks, I see them being more open to moving to moving picks than prospects already in their system Maybe a 1st and a 3rd but even that seems high, Kings are a good bet to make the playoffs so it'll probably end up being 16+ Edited February 19, 2023 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
