Confirmed with Link: Panthers sign Gusev to a 1M contract for the remainder of 2020-21

All we need now is Vatanen on waivers and my wish list is complete and all we gave up was a 3rd lol

Is Foligno done? Still anything to offer in a lesser role for us potentially?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

There’s no risk. As others have said he’ll be cheap and can be buried whenever. Why not take the chance?

Yeah good point. Especially if it keeps Lomberg out of the lineup.

We didn’t give up anything, so I’m good with this. Let’s see what he can do.

 

[CursedCats]

Barkov and Huberdeau worked great with Jagr. Gusev can’t be slower than Jagr.

 

[iam76]

i love this get... its like malgin with more skill this kid should be able to find his minutes here.. but if we start putting him in the 4th line...

He’d be a great bottom 6 warrior for you, but Columbus wants a first round pick for him

 

[FinlandPanther]

I think we might have something great with Gusev Barkov and Duke. This has nothing but low risk high reward written all over it.

People keep pulling charts on twitter

Like, buddy, it's 250 K for 15 games....and considering the forwards AND D that have been deployed for 7+ games now, why even complain

Lmfao

Like seriously, its 250K out of the 16+ million that was available.

Anyway, I'm still hanging on to false hope for Hall

Hall Barkov Gusev
Huberdeau Verhaeghe Duclair
Vatrano Wennberg Hornqvist
Marchment Acciari whoever

In before Swag won't be center

 

[Vilam]

Sweet! Put him with Barky and let's see what happens.

Yeah I understand showing analytical stuff for impactful signings with multiple years to show how effective a player could be over the course of several seasons. For this, what's the point?

They say Gusev is slow. Hubey and Duke switch so that you have Shaggy Duke and Vinny, then Horny Cookie and Tippett,

Marchment ain’t fast either and he plays with Barky lol

Marchment ain’t fast either and he plays with Barky lol

But he works hard

Lol

Seriously who cares? Is it your money? People are weird lol

 

[violaswallet]

Zito got a top six winger and top four D for a third; good use of assets

I'm convinced some people are just adamant about pushing the charts :shrug:

These guys both have horrible numbers (even relative to their bad teams). At this point I’m down to say screw it let’s give it a chance because making no moves is clearly not going to work. Just don’t expect the defense to improve with these guys.

And Keith yandle has good numbers, so I’m not inclined to take them at face value.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Yeah, I don't usually like to be too harsh with people. But Marchment is not cutting it on the top line. Why not give Gusev a shot.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

And Keith yandle has good numbers, so I’m not inclined to take them at face value.

Which is fine but they’re just the on ice results turned into a chart. With Yandle on the ice in the small sample of games we have this year we tend to outshoot the opposition and outshoot them in areas where you’re more likely to score.

Not worth pretending that any of us have ever closely watched Montour and Gusev so we can let the numbers speak. Reading feedback from fans that have watched them closely, the numbers are painting an accurate picture as they tend to (but not always) do.

I’m all for hoping for a turnaround given a change in scenery but I’ll acknowledge that it would definitely be a turnaround and not a continuation of what they’ve been doing.

A very good signing. Panthers pay little for a player that might help in scoring goals and winning games. A lot of things can happen after this season but it's nice to see that they want to improve the roster for this spring too. Zito is showing us and the team that they really want to become successful. Barkov seems to be very excited about what the GM is doing and this signing is again a step to the right direction.

Yeah I like how very little we are risking, and there's even still room for one more impactful trade.

 

[Bag Of Beans]

Foligno to the Leafs in what sounds like a three-way trade with San Jose.

 

[Chessarmy]

I feel really good about this signing. If anyone can rehabilitate Gusev, it's Barkov. This adds sorely needed depth to our forward group and is a super low risk/high reward type transaction. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
