This thread should be named "2nd July".

I think Gusev is pretty much tagged and ready to be sent to Columbus. It makes too much sense as a consolation prize for every damn FA that they had rejecting them. As far as Ferland's concerned, I have a hunch that it's down to Colorado and Carolina for him, just a matter of who gives more years. Also, Montreal cleared all that cap room for an epic fail on Aho, so maybe they'll royally overpay Dzingel and Gardiner instead.

I want Gusev bad after watching that highlight clip. Him and Svech could be absolutely devastating together.

Dibs on username Gusevechnikov if we get him.

Absolutely, but I just think that Columbus is favored here after what happened on Day 1 for them. I could be very wrong, though.

In what way? You think Vegas is going to trade to them because they feel bad for them?

God that would be even better than my Lee, Simmonds speculation. Hell the offer sheet already arguably cost them Lee.

Gusev, Gusev, Gusev! Dundon, Waddell, make the magic once again!

 

[Wolfpuck]

Dundon is all about that big dick energy. If he wants Gusev to be a Cane, Gusev will be a Cane.

 

[SvechneJerk]

Adding Gusev would be a bit of a mic drop after today, no?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

TB and the Rangers will need to move people. I hope we target a good top 6 winger from either to make us better.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Yes indeed. He would round out our top 6 very nicely.

 

[Roboturner913]

Welp, getting back to normal....

we still have a little over $11 milllion in cap space. We'll need 3 d-men - Bean, Fleury, Forsling, presumably and likely 3 forwards. I assume we'll have to choose between McGinn or Willams with the other 2 forwards being probably ELCs or cheap deals (Saku, Bishop, etc)

Hopefully we can win a cup with this crew before Dundon's failing finances force the league to take ownership of the team and move it to Quebec

Well, IDK if that's part of it, but what I do know is that Vegas needs D and Columbus has lots of young, cost-controlled D.

Svech - Aho - Gusev
NN - Staal - TT
Foeg - Haula - Necas

Gusev at 2y 4m per would work

Vegas needs futures or guys making less than 1 million a year

 

[Wolfpuck]

Vegas needs futures or guys making less than 1 million a year

Futures? We got futures baby!

 

[SvechneJerk]

Paging @hangman005 .

Hey, mate. What can we offer you for Gusev?

 

[My Special Purpose]

Adding Gusev would be a bit of a mic drop after today, no?

We've dropped the mic so much already today that the feedback is deafening.

 

[Svechhammer]

We have more future assets than we know what to do with. If there is an opportunity for Gusev, go for it. We can probably offer a better deal than most, and he can help us win now.

 

[Roboturner913]

Futures? We got futures baby!

But according to Habs fans we have no future and the org is literally on the brink of financial ruin
