Description

I see all these ACGMs with Gavrikov going for $5M and sometimes $6M+ on long term extensions. He's a quality defense-first defenseman. The going rate for the best of those guys is roughly $4M-$4.5M AAV.

Comparables are on the active roster.

Monetary value is different for UFA's compared to RFA's because of basic market economics. Namely demand.
The others didn't have the track record or rep that Gav has

Well for starters many of those players signed those deals when the cap was lower. Look at percentage of cap.

Also, several of those deals were RFA deals, not UFA deals giving teams some leverage

True for some, but Manson signed for $4.5M as a UFA after winning a Stanley Cup.

But having said where do you see Gavrikov in order of value as players? I’m guessing 6-7th
