Surprisingly, this is the first I've seen too much coming back in a Nyquist trade. I think if that were to go through, Toronto would add a bad contract and drop Hollowell. This will also need to happen after the Korpisalo trade.

The Vegas trade is accepted even with it being next year's 3rd rounder. Any missed value is easily covered by an okay center prospect with good team chemistry with Brisson who has former teammates from his UM days. This is a really nice trade and I appreciate the finer details on this one. I think the Jackets could add a late rounder.

Texier is not available for anything less than a 1st rounder and even then I don't think he gets traded until he returns from the mental health program. I really like Jordan Greenway, but this trade will need different assets on the Jackets side.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cementhead73</b></div><div>Don’t think so, he’s not that good and Puljujarvi is a 4th overall. He just doesn’t get along here. No one will pass him the puck.</div></div>

He was 4th overall, yes. But all signs are pointing toward him being a bust with a 3 million dollar contract. He's worth a third or fourth rounder to a team looking for a reclamation project. Even then, he's a cap dump that has a chance of going back to Europe after this year.

The long established price for Gavrikov is a first and a third. Gavrikov is a good Top 4 LHD and decent stop gap player in the top pairing. Saying he's not that good is laughably incorrect. And don't bother pointing towards "underlying metrics". Those stats don't matter for players who are on terrible teams unless you're willing to break the team down as a whole and notice he's the only bright spot on a team that doesn't play defense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>What a bad take. Sandin is better than Gavrikov and it's not at all close</div></div>

It's actually pretty spot on if you have ever actually watched Gavrikov play. Gavrikov is a top pairing LHD on a team without guys like Zach Werenski or Morgan Reilly. He's not a better skater or passer than Sandin, but what he does away from the puck is by far better. He plays top pairing, top PK, and second line PP minutes and averages 22.5 minutes a game, 4.5 minutes more than Sandin does, and most of them are against top 6 players. He does all that with only a $2.8 million cap hit and in despite of Eric Gudbranson and the AHL caliber defensive core. The fact that he's only -4 on a team whose GAA is 31st in the league is astonishing.

Rasmus Sandin is sheltered on the bottom pairing playing against bottom 6 forwards on both 5v5 and on the PP. He has a stacked team in front of him and a competent d-man next to him at all times, even on the PP. He's an undersized, left handed, broke-man's version of Adam Boqvist. That title comes with a reserved IR seat in the press box called the "Ryan Murray Memorial Folding Chair".

Will Sandin be better than Gavrikov? Maybe offensively.
Is he currently? Absolutely not.

I would say that no matter what, Columbus to retain 50% which is typically what is assumed when Gavrikov shows up in trades. The price is this years first and third. Sandin's value is worth the equivalent of that first and that retainage.
