I'm a little weird, just like everyone else.

Given that you're going after a player we have no desire to trade, "it's necessary to make the trade work" is not a good rationale. In fact, it's even more reason to not want to bother on top of the strong reasons we already have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>You didn't even tell me how you would value Gavrikov.... A 1st in a loaded draft and a B prospect is a fair trade imo for a guy like Gavrikov</div></div>
How Gavrikov (or any other asset in the League) would be valued is dependent on the circumstances under which he'd be traded. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all value.

EDIT: Also, should probably reiterate the whole "our prospect supply issues have been addressed" point from earlier. Having Gavrikov still in our lineup is more valuable to us and to our roster building plans than getting Yet Another 1st. We've already got two, y'know, and we had three this past season. We're in pretty good shape there.

Nope. He's one of the current experienced guys being kept around to shelter kids during the building process, and he's young enough that he fits the timeline regardless. And we pretty much solved our prospect supply issues via the Jones trade, so there's no pressure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>This is a TDL move as the title of the AGM says. Columbus should be selling at TDL because they will not be close to playoffs</div></div>
Sure, but that's going to be pending UFAs; we don't need to stretch and get Anybody Who Might Get Something. Think guys like Harrington and/or Domi and/or Korpisalo. There is no reason at this time to believe Gavrikov would be made available at the deadline.
