The trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and the Columbus Blue Jackets have one of the real prizes available in Vladislav Gavrikov. And today, we are discussing defensemen on this team as well as around the league. Here’s who could be dealt by 3 PM Friday.
Blue Jackets who could be available
Vladislav Gavrikov is the main suspect off the Blue Jackets D-Core. The 27-year-old, Russian, stay-at-home defenseman has been a great addition to the Columbus blue line the past two years, providing a sorely needed defense-first presence. In fact, in the last seven games, the Blue Jackets haven’t allowed a goal against while Gavrikov was on the ice.
