Confirmed Trade: [VGK/NJD] Gusev to NJ for a 3rd round ('20) and 2nd round ('21)

[thethinglonger]

Not sure if this should be rumor or speculation, but Dan Rice is reporting that NJ and Vegas have a deal for Gusev. Gusev to NJ for a 2020 3rd rounder and 2021 2nd rounder from NJ.



Rice is a reputable source for signings and whatnot, but can't speak for him breaking trades.

seems like this guy does have sources? Kind of interesting.

Shero will probs add a rabbit to the picks from his magic hat if that deal is finalized.

 

[JT Kreider]

It is true, Incarcerated Bob had it first and he was all over Panarin to NYR before anyone else too

 

[DakrSnooze]

Seems like a nice deal for both sides

I was against a 1st and anything of high value due to all the risk, but I would be 100% fine with this.

 

[Vitto79]

Ah crap good move Devils

 

[Kamiccolo]

Pretty good deal if true.

seems like this guy does have sources? Kind of interesting.

Vegas chose Ryan Reaves, Nick Holden, and this package over Nikita Gusev.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Pretty decent for Vegas to get two high picks for a guy who has never played an NHL game.

Agreed.

Gusev vs. Panarin I like it

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hall - Hischier - Gusev

That'd be spicy.

 

[JT Kreider]

Vegas should get more if they gave NJ permission to work out a contract first and it is a sign and trade (or trade and sign?)

 

[Huck Cheever]

McPhee will regret this

 

[TrufleShufle]

Does he play RW at all or stick with the LW?

 

[BKarchitect]

Great low-risk, high-reward play for the Devils who probably needed to supplement their existing forward core with another top-level offensive threat. If Schneider can continue his good play from the end of last year and Subban rebounds in a new environment (yes, the shelf-life on PK is fairly short in any one but I'm betting first year in a new place he's going to bring his A-game) then you can start to take the Devils seriously as a team that could make some noise.

And not bad for the Golden Knights to pick up a couple of extra solid picks for a guy who was going to face a very uphill climb to make his mark on a team loaded with good top-6 talent.

new jersey knows they need to make some moves to convince hall to stay

 

[CBJWerenski8]

The Metro is stacked

 

[InfinityIggy]

This will look extremely regrettable for Vegas by Christmas. I think Gusev is the real deal.

 

[Blackjack]

Vegas chose Ryan Reaves, Nick Holden, and this package over Nikita Gusev.

It seems obvious that Gusev is seen as far more risky by GMs than most on these boards.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

They already have.

as much as I love Hall, they should be making moves in order to improve the team, not to appease one player

 

[TrufleShufle]

This will look extremely regrettable for Vegas by Christmas. I think Gusev is the real deal.

Would be a great Christmas present if this all came true.

 

[BatVader]

If true, Devils should be interesting this coming season.
