Boston proves to be a non trustworthy trade partner

[ViD]

Yeah, sounds like CBJ may have just played themselves here. OP is just being salty.

What we know so far from different sources: Boston agreed to a deal Columbus wanted for Gavrikov, but asked for time to sort money issues, Columbus agreed to wait and sat Gavrikov. Then, Boston, while trying to find a deal to shed some salary cap found another seller and thought that deal fit them better so they went with it leaving Columbus hanging.

I know it’s all business and nothing personal, but it’s shitty for their reputation going forward

I'm still at a loss as to why Gavrikov commanded such a high price to begin with that Orlov who has a proven track record on a much better team was the alternative plan.

If Jarmo was stupid enough to think that he could take a better deal if it came along and Boston couldn't then tough luck:

Every party involved will recover.

Jarmo sounds like he sucks at his job

 

[leafsfan5]

Did they call the NHL and officially state the trade?

If not, it's not done

Business is business, Boston will do what is best for their squad. All the power to them.

 

[PostBradMalone]

Columbus management looking for excuses, but like the Bjorkstrand trade this was a self-inflicted wound.

All power to them, but next time people deal with them, they will know

I'm sure the Blue Jackets would have politely declined if they received a better offer from elsewhere.

Violin where are you when you are needed?

More like one or two Columbus fans looking.

Everybody already knows. Thats how it works. Jarmo is the only one who didnt seem to realize it. Sucks to be him

Extended gavrikov to Vancouver for 2nd + 3rd

Then vancouver can sign dronov and bring tryamkin back...maybe ask ottawa nicely about zub and offer anaheim crumpets and tea for mintyukov.

Carolina are the NHLs nice guys so don't see why they can't offer us nikishin

 

[Slats432]

"Proves" Not exactly. In any discussion of a deal, if there are conditions a team needs to perform to make it happen.

"I think I might have a deal for Craig Smith. If I can do that, we have a deal."

That is not a confirmed deal. The other GM that said "I was sure it was a done deal." probably talks to CLB who says, I can't move Gavrikov, I have a deal with Boston.

This is high school shit. I love it.

 

[ThankGord]

Columbus got punked for sure!!!

Dirty move by Boston but such is the business.

However, Orlov and Hathaway sucks, and Gavrikov would have been much much better for Boston.

Orlov and Hathaway is clearly a better addition than Gavrikov…

 

[Patdud]

Blame your cheap owner for not accepting a cap dump, what a dumb thing to be mad about.

Know what? Only lesson here is for Columbus to learn.

Sounds like Columbus put the cart before the horse. Hopefully they've learnt their lesson.

Amateur hour complaining about this publicly.

CBJ Reddit seems to have it at 70% Bruins screwed us 30% Jarmo made a mistake

2024 1st or no deal

 

[Frank Drebin]

Don't care. Thats business.

 

[EXTRAS]

2024 1st or no deal

Vancouver's 1st is likely top 5-6

In fact their 2nd in 2023 is probably only a few spots behind Boston's 1st

Not to mention gavrikov is a ufa so if it's first or bust and no one offers a first in the next week columbus loses him for nothing

 

[Sparty]

Gonna be awkward for Columbus trying to trade Gavrikov or anyone else now, seems like the prudent thing to do here would have been to just move on.

 

[93LEAFS]

A deal isn't done until it's called into the league office, to operate otherwise is plain bad management and being naive.

 

[Hisch13r]

They got a better deal.
