Bro gave Roslovic away

Boston agrees then hangs up as quickly as possible to ensure you can't take it back.

Welcome to capfriendly

I wouldn't mind those trades if they happened, but I doubt Roslovic will get shipped for something small like that. My guess is if he's traded, it will be part of a bigger package this summer to bring in a better 2LD.

Edmonton declines. Ken Holland has never traded a 1st for a rental, so a mediocre defenseman like Gavrikov isn't going to convince him to change. And Edmonton doesn't have the cap space anyhow.

You act like he's a valuable piece? He's a 3C at best but is better suited as a 3RW. He's overpaid and his wild inconsistency is maddening.

Also, Riley spurned Columbus when they drafted him by using the college loophole to sign with Minnesota. I highly doubt CBJ try to bring him back. If CBJ make a deadline deal with BOS, I think Smith could come back to give us a body for the rest of the season. They'll take an expiring contract, but probably not one with another year left on it.

Then trade him for a third, why are you taking a cap dump for free?

I agree, in part. Columbus will need bodies though to finish out the season. They will need to take players back in almost any deadline deal they make.

Fair enough. I would ask for another third to take Reilly back.

Zero reason for the canucks to do that

i do not understand the hype around gavrikov

Given his history with this team and his having term, the cost would be a bit higher than that.

He SUCKSSS

Then they are not getting Gavrikov. Not to mention Puljujarvi going back makes up for the cap.

That's great news!

It'll also be great news when McDavid leaves because Holland will never go all in to try and win for him. Gavrikov is not mediocre whatsoever. It's Holland who wants to bring him in and that is the price he will have to pay. He is better than Savard when he was traded. He is better than Brett Kulak or Evan Bouchard. He is a great defenseman on a mediocre team.
