SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Gavrikov isn't a flashy scorer; his offensive game is about thoughtful plays and setting up others, reflected in his assist-heavy totals and the nearly double assist rate compared to his goals. He's a workhorse defenseman, evidenced by his substantial ice time, who consistently plays a disciplined, reliable game that anchors his team's defense.
