Three proposals for the Maple Leafs to offer the Blue Jackets for Vladislav Gavrikov
Joshua Kloke and Aaron Portzline of The Athletic: Looking at potential trade proposals from the Toronto Maple Leafs for Columbus Blue Jackets pending UFA defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.
Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas has said he doesn’t want to trade a first-round pick or top prospect Matthew Knies for a rental. The Blue Jackets are believed to be looking for a first-round pick plus for Gavrikov.
Proposal No. 1 – Nick Robertson and Alex Steeves for Gavrikov – Portzline notes that three years ago and multiple injuries ago it might be a terrific proposal. Robertson is also a winger and not a center.
Proposal No. 2 – Topi Niemela, 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick – Portzline notes it’s better than the first proposal. The Blue Jackets have picked three defensemen in the first round in the last two drafts. Is Niemela ahead of some of their prospects?
NHL Rumors: Columbus Blue Jackets – Vladislav Gavrikov, Jakob Chychrun and Gustav Nyquist
Proposal No, 3 – 2023 first-round pick, and 2025 third-round pick – Portzline says this is the type of trade the Blue Jackets are after.
