Nyquist will be half retained and most likely traded at the deadline. Not sure he gets a first maybe if the jackets throw in a third or a prospect like bemstrom or Foudy. Jackets aren’t trading Gavrikov unless they can’t get a deal done. If so it will be for a Chairot like package maybe a little more

The Jackets have already non-tendered Shore once. Why would they re-acquire him now? And there's zero chance Gavrikov is traded. Even beyond his being a defensive defenseman on a team in desperate need of that role, he's a vital Russian mentor for the team's incoming Russian prospects.

why trade Gavrikov for scraps? He's worth at least a 2nd minimum

First + decent add minimum.

These trades are horrendous. That Edmonton trade is an insult.
