Obviously there's a lot of value in your offer. I'm not sure it's all the right value.

The 24 1st would be a super nice thing to have, no doubt. Spence is intriguing, but he's also a small Dman (which is going to make the Blues have the heebie jeebies) and an RD, which doesn't really work as things stand in STL. Turcotte is also nice, also not a need fit. Kaliyev would be nice to have, but he's not holding the value he once did. The 25 1st is nice and all, but again, not necessarily in line with pressing needs.

Long story short, you'd be better off keeping many of those young talent assets, forgetting about Binny to find a goalie elsewhere and trying your hand at a Buch offer that kicks off with the 24 1st. I'm not sure the Kings have the right pieces to pull it off, but like Army, I'm here to listen.

What’s wrong with Gavrikov? He was a stud in Columbus

LA's coaching sucks and it's much easier for fans to blame the players. Also, the lockerroom is a mess, it makes it hard for players to focus on their jobs when there is so much tension

What do you think realistically would be his cost to acquire?
I wouldn’t mind him on the bruins.

Bruins need another strong LHD so lindholm can focus more on offence rather then defence. He’s been taking on a lot of the tough match-ups with mcavoy and doesn’t get as much offensive opportunities as he did last season.

I doubt they go back on Chychrun. I want no part of OEL personally Dillon and Gavrikov would be good fits for me next to mcavoy, they aren’t good transitional dmen but are solid once in the zone and mcavoy Carries the puck most the time anyways so not a glaring whole if they can’t carry the puck

Realistically it's gonna cost at least what LA gave up but I don't think LA will be looking to move him (whether the op likes it or not) they are also in win now mode and need him on their blueline.

I know they are young but both Harris and Struble are great defensively and can transition up ice well. They are better suited to the bottom 4 so I wouldn't necessarily put either with McAvoy on the top pair but both could be had for about a 2nd
