Looks like the Kings have a 7 year deal on the table for Gavrikov.
Curious what the AAV would be, he's a bit overpaid on this contract at $5.875 million but Blake had to do that to not let two rentals (Korpisalo) walk out the door after includinga 1st but around $5 million is the going rate for shutdown defensemen. Roy was overpaid at $5.75 million because he was a UFA, but I bet Gavrikov is pushing for closer to that.
After acquiring superstar Mikko Rantanen in late January, it appears the Carolina Hurricanes won't be able to re-sign the Finnish winger ahead of Friday's trade deadline.
Dont see LA getting anything but scraps if that. Read Jets offered their 1st for Nelson followed by TB offering their 1st and 2 other pieces but they then switched to a Seattle offer....can LA match or beat...barely, then you need to ask why bother. This is why missing on top picks and moving assets to mitigate bad contracts and signings really starts to hurt.
