What about Copp for Kapanen?

I could see a Domi for Zucker swap bring something each team does, but Columbus doesn’t want to move Gavrikov who is a huge part of their locker room and has been a mentor for chinakov and will be asked to help with the other 2 Russians coming over in the next few years. Columbus also doesn’t really need wings or LHD, they have a ton of them already.

Gotta think that CBJ takes that in a heart beat

If Copp is signed, possibly.

Cbj says no. Gavrikov is too important to the cbj.

I’m not terribly sure Kapanen does much for CBJ right now. He’s about to need a new contract, and he’s yet to really separate himself as a high-end offensive forward, which is what CBJ need right now when it comes to NHL players.

Like @ajp_18 said above, a Domi-Zucker swap would be intriguing. I could see it happening if PIT includes a 1st and a high prospect. Domi has probably a 2nd in value right now and would work great for them as a T6 Forward, and CBJ would help PIT clear cap space for next season, all while seeing if Zucker could go on a redemption tour in Cbus, and maybe flip him for another pick/prospect later if they retain on him in a trade.

POJ would be fine, but CBJ don’t need more LD prospects. Maybe Poulin, since at the very least he is waivers exempt and could get a few more season to develop in the AHL.

Gavvy isn’t going anywhere…for now. One of the most reliable D we have on a team filled with young, developing guys.

cbj not trading gavrikov
