I would be hesitant to question a player's effort. especially one who is fully aware that his spot on any line is not guaranteed.
I'd take out Nosek, or even Tuch, before I touch the 4th line. I mean neither has done anything to warrant being taken out, and despite his PK accuman I value Carriers physicality more, along with Reaves they get under the sharks skin and we are successful where the bash brothers are going.I'd put him in for game 6 and take Carrier out (although Carrier has done nothing to deserve being taken out)
Gusev on the 3rd line
If you don't include the Stone line, this team has pretty much sucked this post season so far. We have only 3 guys on the team not on that line to score a full-strength goal. We are also playing a team that scored a lot more goals than we did during the season. There is no doubt San Jose has more firepower than we do..
Another thing that bothers me is there has been a lot of talk about how the Sharks defense and goaltending has been trash. So how will the other lines do if we make it past this round and face teams that are tougher to score on?
We may not even win this series if the other lines don’t get it going.
I assume the agent would use their own translator in negotiations, but I think the team generally provides the translator for the players.

Hi, my dear SC Final friends. I come in peace.
Surprised your team does not need Gusev in the top6. In Washington we have a good history with Russian elite forwards, and his KHL stats seem to be promising.
How much do you want for his rights? Picks? Caps prospects?

Why didn't Gusev play tonight?
Pirri was terrible out there for you guys and it should have been easy decision to play Gusev over him
So if he doesn't play in the 7th game, and Vegas Loses, his ELC will start the next season, and he's UFA in 2020? Not the worst thing for Nikita. I think, if the team's GM isn't happy about such a scenario, he'll force Gallant to play Gusev, though.
No, because of his age the ELC is expiring regardless so he's RFA this summer and UFA then next summer or whenever his next contract expires. Vegas will have to pay him fairly well or risk offer sheets.
And he does have arb rights too. (So weird without having played one NHL game.)
Guessing he'll be getting a seven digit salary for upcoming season.

CF is wrong. Their arbitration calculator doesn’t work properly for players who signed late in the season after playing in a non-NHL professional league.
