My biggest problem with the idea of him was people wanted a truculent defender like Greene and then pointed at Gavrikov and he was not going to be that player in any world. It was more a matter of mistyped identity if you were going to bring him in to be that. The analysis of him as a number one defender was also clearly way off. Don't get me wrong, he's the driver of this second pair. But it is in the 2nd pair role that he's shiningWe’ve now seen Gavrikov play more than 25 games as a King and I cannot for the life of me understand why the armchair scouts said this guy was overrated or in some cases they called him a bad defenseman. I really don’t get it. He’s been steady to stellar from game 1. Great pickup.
Right. Not Spence.Roy with another giveaway… damn…
