I wonder what the cost will be. I hope the Habs are in on this.

 

[Le Rosbeef]

I confidently predict, Gusev will be the best 'signing' of this offseason.

Can't see Vegas/Sharks being on friendly trade terms (aside of that draft pick!) but if this is legitimate, I'd want Wilson to be all over this.

 

[Atas2000]

Good. Vegas is the wrong team for him.

 

[Atas2000]

Would love him on NYR.

Too good to be true.

 

[Avaholic29]

Wish this guy would go through sakics radar. I think he'd be worth the trial and could probably get away with a shorter term higher AAV

 

[780il]

Pls pls pls send him to Edmonton

2nd line minutes and #1pp time are all his.

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Apparently NJ was in on him

Normally we arent in on anyone so this would be a change of pace if true

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If the aho thing doesn't work out, that would be a nice plan b

[Man Bear Pig]

5'9 154 lbs. Sounds like he's Toronto bound.

 

[McGarnagle]

It's Gusev Day

 

[izzy]

edmonton could really use him but what could they give to vegas

 

[Nazzlind]

would love him on the canucks

 

[Kshahdoo]

5'9 154 lbs. Sounds like he's Toronto bound.

KHL site says he's 180, 80 (5'11, 178). It's Panarin/Kane size.

Picks or/and prospects, probably, Vegas doesn't have cap for anything else anyway.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

CBJ should go after this

 

[Bronson]

Lou's consolation Russian.

 

[Jayan]

Would love him on NYR along with our other SKA players.

However since Vegas is so high on cap and we wont trade picks, maybe a 2nd and a B prospect?

I was just going to ask what this guy is worth. I admittedly don't know a ton about him.

These KHL guys make me nervous though

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Good. Vegas is the wrong team for him.

He would in all likelihood be buried on the third line in Vegas. A team would have to give him top six and PP1 time to properly unleash him.

 

[kilowatt]

he could play with kovalchuk and prokhorkin on the “top line” in los angeles. or get some minutes next to kopitar. wonder what the asking price would be? kings have plenty of cap space to work something out

 

[Strakanator]

The Penguins should be all over this. Malkin needs a real little buddy.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

What’s the price though?

He won't get traded to a pacific team. That's a guarantee.

If I was GMGM I'd try to either get a in all likelihood top-10 pick for him, or since Devils was in on this: Jesper Bratt.
