Vladislav Gavrikov

"What's that old expression? Look good, play good, feel good," Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman said.

After eluding adversity for the first two months of the season, managing the loss of Gavrikov will be the Kings' biggest test to date.

Gavrikov was traded to the Kings from the Columbus Blue Jackets at the NHL trade deadline in March.

Kopitar, the Kings' captain and longtime star, will have to pull together a group that still seemed to be in some shock Thursday.

Columbus likely needed an additional piece in order to make a serious play for Chychrun. Now they have it.

Rob Blake did his job. A shutdown defenseman? Check. A goalie who will provide insurance and possibly an upgrade? Done. But at what cost?

Quick is 11-13-4 this season with a 3.50 GAA and a .876 SV%. Korpisalo is 11-11-3 with a 3.17 GAA and a .913 SV%.

The Blue Jackets have held out Gavrikov, firmly believing a deal was in place. That changed on Thursday night.

Oilers GM Ken Holland has been actively exploring the market, but he faces a more difficult path to deals than other contending GMs.

Vladislav Gavrikov has likely played his last game for the Blue Jackets.

Gavrikov will be a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Do the pros of Gavrikov’s game outweigh the cons? The Oilers have a few more weeks to decide.

Zach Werenski will miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum and separated shoulder.
