I get that everything has a value, but I don't think Jarmo would say yes to even that. Like you implied; it would take Peeke to become Gav before Jarmo would even entertain an offer.Yeah I don’t think he makes sense to move. Should be a solid #3 shut down guy capable of putting up 20-30 points for the next 5+ years and won’t get the biggest contract. And Columbus doesn’t really have anyone else with his skillset, so moving him would immediately require replacing him.
But if Columbus is looking to capitalize on his value being so high right now, and opts to go with a younger group or look to the future more, then his value is well above a mid 1st. Probably 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
I mean, I get CBJ wouldn't want to trade him, but how many prospects out there are top line potential Cs? Not a lot, and 30 other teams would offer something better than Gavrikov for such a guy, nevermind ADDING to that C prospect.He’s a perfect player to add to really any team. He’d walk into the top 4 on pretty much any team in the league and the top pair on at least half of them. One of my favorite non-Sharks players. I’d imagine CBJ would want a C prospect with top line potential and maybe a bit more depending on the prospect.
