In his recent '32 Thoughts' article, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said that the Edmonton Oilers are interested in Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Vladislav Gavrikov.
As Friedman mentioned, in the past couple of years, the price for rental defenceman has gone through the roof. In April 2021, the Blue Jackets were able to get a first-round pick and a third-round pick in a three-way trade with Detroit and Tampa Bay.
Then back in March, the Montreal Canadiens received a 2023 first-round pick, 2022 fourth-round pick and prospect Ty Smilanic from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Ben Chiarot.
With the Blue Jackets having a poor season thus far, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen would certainly like to add another first-round pick, especially with how deep this year's draft is.
Gavrikov, 27, is in the final year of a three-year contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. In 32 games this season, the Yaroslavl native has nine points (two goals, seven assists), 18 penalty minutes and is a minus-three.
