The Future of Vladislav Gavrikov: A Key Question for the Kings
June 16, 2025 - 03:01
EL SEGUNDO, CA - As the offseason approaches, the Los Angeles Kings find themselves facing a crucial decision regarding defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov. Last season, Gavrikov emerged as a vital player for the Kings, stepping up in the absence of star defenseman Drew Doughty. His ability to play on his offside showcased his versatility and commitment to the team's defensive strategy, making him a key asset.
Despite his significant contributions, there are concerns about whether the Kings will be willing to retain Gavrikov. Reports suggest that he could command a contract similar to that of Jakob Chychrun, who is valued at $9 million. This looming question adds a layer of uncertainty to the Kings' offseason plans. While Gavrikov has proven his worth on the ice, the organization may not be prepared to meet the financial demands that come with securing his services. As the market heats up, the Kings' decision on Gavrikov will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
