TA, one FA every team should target. Gavrikov came up multiple times:
Los Angeles Kings
Vladislav Gavrikov
With Rob Blake as the Kings’ GM, it felt like a foregone conclusion that Gavrikov would be re-signed, but that’s no longer the case with Ken Holland. If Holland isn’t keen on throwing many years and big money at Gavrikov, the 29-year-old defensive bedrock, trading for the younger Bowen Byram (or perhaps Nicolas Hague) might be necessary if they also make a big move, such as taking a run at Marner. — Eric Stephens
Pittsburgh Penguins
Vladislav Gavrikov
Gavrikov, a steady and dependable player, would help and fit well on the left side of the Penguins’ blue line. Plus, he’s only 29. — Josh Yohe
Im starting to believe Gavrikov will not be here as a King in the fall, I don't think Holland is willing to break the bank for him like Blake was. Gavrikov is solid but the Kings system also makes goalies and D look better than they are. Would have liked some more offense from the back end as a whole so not singling him out. Just need more in general from the blue line and not just a bunch of Matt Greenes. Both finalists have an active, involved defense offensively.
Which is OK, but they'll need a replacement plus I think the money should be invested in some high event forwards who don't mind playing some rough hockey who can score.
Target Byram in a trade and move one of Spence or Clarke out. The Sabres need a RH defender and have a glut of lefties which LA needs (good job yet again managing the surplus of RHD the Kings had just 2 years ago Bowlby), plus Byram can skate and make things happen from the back and.is young enough to stay here for a while.

Detroit Red Wings
Vladislav Gavrikov
While a top-line winger would be the more exciting add, Detroit needs a top-four defenseman, and Gavrikov would be the dream fit. He’s one of the league’s best defensive defensemen, is used to taking tough minutes and has familiarity with Todd McLellan and Trent Yawney from Los Angeles. Putting Gavrikov next to Moritz Seider would make for a fearsome defensive pairing. — Max BultmanPittsburgh Penguins
