We have 3 of our 4 top-6 wing spots accounted for with Mantha, AA and Bertuzzi. So there is one top-6 spot open for: Zadina / Hirose, and to a lesser extent Svechnikov, Rasmussen and Veleno.
What I’m saying is that I’d much rather give Zadina top-6 minutes and PP time versus giving up assets and committing to Gusev for two years. Have to believe that Yzerman wants to create a program and culture preferential to internal promotion, similar to Tampa and Toronto.
Realistically, what’s the best case for signing Gusev? He produces at a Panarin-level, then in two-years he wants big money and term as a 29 year old?
