Package deal: Blue Jackets send Vladislav Gavrikov, Joonas Korpisalo to Los Angeles Kings in blockbuster trade
against the salary cap is the reason the Blue Jackets felt obligated to trade Korpisalo, who has significantly outperformed his counterpart for all but the past few weeks. Rookie Daniil Tarasov also factored into the decision. He will require waivers to be assigned to the American Hockey League next season, which would likely result in another team claiming him.
Korpisalo and Gavrikov will now help stiffen the Kings' defense as they head toward a second straight playoff appearance. Trading Quick means Korpisalo will take over the starter’s role in Los Angeles, a rare mid-season goaltending flip the Finnish netminder earned with a strong rebound year. Gavrikov, 27, is a proven stopper with good experience , size and the willingness to block shots in bulk quantities.earlier trade Tuesday that sent injured forward Gustav Nyquist to the Minnesota Wild
for a 2023 fifth-round pick, Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has moved all three of his pending UFAs a full two days before the trade deadline arrives at 3 p.m. Friday. That wasn't a surprise by the time the trade was completed thanks to multiple contending teams addressing similar needs with a slew of trades earlier Tuesday peppered across the league.
