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.

heavy.com

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” ?

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.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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

My bad. Thought I had data tab defaulted to 5-5, but that 48.5% is actually all situations.

He is indeed elite, at 54-ish % when 5 on 5. Was thinking it was credit to Matt Roy as a partner, but he’s doing just as well this season with Mikey freakin Anderson. I stand corrected.

As for Zac, I just want him to get the time Lindgren is getting. As a trial. #55’s stats are in serious decline since 2022-2023.

Roslovic having himself a decent start to the season.

 

[Kords]

Roslovic with 6 goals already, huh? Must be nice to get away from the wonder twins.

Gotta feel for Riley Smith at this point

Roslovic having himself a decent start to the season.

more goals than anyone on the Rongos right?

Roslovic having himself a decent start to the season.

Always happens, right?

Broons in absolute free fall.

(Canes scary good.)

Rangers gonna be fighting for 3rd place in the Metro with Columbus and Washington

You find a way to score and beat the Ducks and avoid humiliation as Crosby and the Pens did tonight. Except for the Islanders.

Rangers fans should watch more Ducks game. They will appreciate this Rangers team a lot more.

I watched a Ducks game recently where they lost by the skin of their teeth to that Rangers team.

Brooks does a pretty good job of calling out the Rongos today, or at least their defense. The article features a picture of Miller sprawled out on the ice as the Caps player is scoring. A picture worth a thousand words and all that.

Josh Anderson fed Wilson a bunch of upper cuts last night....it was enjoyable .
