The Los Angeles Kings and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov appear far from finalizing a contract extension, despite prior indications of progress. With Ken Holland now leading, no updates have emerged as the player enters free agency. Gavrikov has expressed a willingness to take his time evaluating offers, emphasizing there is no rush. With a strong season boosting his value, multiple teams, including the New York Rangers, are reportedly interested in him, making it strategic for Gavrikov to weigh options before committing to a deal.
I don't have any deadline to make a decision, I'm not in a rush at all. I have plenty of time to do research, meet with my agent, and we'll see where we are at.
From Gavrikov's perspective, after having a phenomenal season in which his role and minutes increased in a contract year, it would make complete sense to wait and see who's interested in him.
