Trade Proposal Has Rangers Acquiring Star $11.7 Million Defenseman

A trade pitch has the New York Rangers acquiring defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov from the Los Angeles Kings.

Didn’t read the article, but all I know is that Gavrikov is a career-long possession black hole. Zac Jones instead please.

And kudos to whoever posted the video of Kings D-man Brandt Clarke’s nice assist. That’s three tonight for the 21-year-old, putting him in third place for assists in the league.

Except, of course, for the fact that Gavrikov has had elite possession numbers ever since he joined LA.

And that Jones has had bad ones his whole (short) career. He's just a good skater who can make a good pass. That doesn't mean he's actually good.

48.5% is “elite” ?

I suppose that depends. If he has a 48.5% shooting percentage that would be pretty elite. If he has a 48.5% faceoff percentage that would be pretty bad.

Notice how they're not giving up an infinite amount of shots despite being the worst defense in the NHL?
