NHL trade deadline: Blue Jackets trade Gavrikov, Korpisalo to Kings

The Columbus Blue Jackets are trading defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov and goaltender Joonas Korpisalo to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for goaltender Jonathan Quick, a conditional 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick.

Gavrikov, 27, has registered only 10 points in 52 games this season, but has supplied a steady defensive presence for the floundering Blue Jackets while averaging a career-high 22:20 of average ice time per night.

Gavrikov was selected with the 159th-overall pick by Columbus in the 2015 NHL Draft. He's appeared in 256 games over four seasons with club, registering 73 points and accumulating 130 penalty minutes.
