Value of: Vladislav Gavrikov

[ViD]

He’s been absolutely incredible for the Kings basically replacing Doughty and playing the most minutes on the team.

He’s racking up +17 rating and on pace for career high 40 points.

The problem is he’s a UFA at the end of the season and I don’t know if the Kings will re-sign him.

If he hits free agency, what contract are we looking for him and what teams will be in contention ?

5x5.

Look at what Matt Roy got in FA, and add a good percentage to it.

He will get paid, and rightfully so. My guess is 7x6.5

Thought he was older than 29 ngl

Probably worth a late 1st, but why not just keep him as your own rental if your L.A

Sounds like he's asking about the contract he's going to get. Nobody thinks LA is gonna move him.

I would kill to have him back in Columbus.

Ah, that’s right. I should learn to read lol!

Full NMC + kings are going to make the playoffs = they aren’t trading him

If he was asking 6.5, feel like the contract would be done by now. Gavrikov is going to ask for top pair money. He's also shown himself capable of playing the right side.

We'll see if Gavrikov prices himself off the team.

7x$7M with somekind clause for sure.

Dudes been amazing

He once won WJC's best defenseman with 0 points scored. But modern NHL doesn't understand this conception...

I mean, the deal he signed with the Kings was always betting on an absolutely massive payday just down the road. It was pretty well reported at the time that it was such a short deal at medium money, because he was "betting on himself" and the rising cap.

So i'd expect him to cash in bigtime. With the way the cap is rising...i don't even know exactly what that looks like. But it'll probably look very "yikes" to most people.

He is an excellent defenseman who the Bruins almost had just before the acquired H Lindholm. They will not have the money this time thanks to the horrible Zadorov and other bungles.

His current salary is $5.875M, he’s going to get at least $6.5M but the Kings should really think of trading him and getting some much needed assets

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings won't trade him.

They hung on to Roy who was less important, at a redundant position, with no NMC.

They have next to nothing behind Gavy on the left side, he's got Blake bent over a barrel for his next deal but I can't see the Kings not signing him. A guy who can play a high level filling in as a #1 on both sides? He'll be 'worth' anything short of 9 million in this market.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

Id give him 7.5x5 and not even think twice. He's a dying breed in the NHL.

No shit you wouldn’t think twice. He’s going to get a lot more than that.

They will hold on to him, and he is gonna bolt for an absurd contract in FA.

And I don’t blame the guy one bit.
