Just as we saw with Jakob Chychrun last week, Vladislav Gavrikov will be scratched for trade-related reasons this week. This means that a trade is coming in the near future.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are bound to get a haul for the pending UFA, who carries an incredibly reasonable $2.8-million cap-hit.

LINEUP UPDATE: Blue Jackets D Vladislav Gavrikov will be a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. New Jersey. He is being held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons.

We will update this story as more details come out.
