We’ve done it folks. After thirty long days the New Jersey Devils have officially acquired Nikita Gusev from the Vegas Golden Knights and gave up very little in the process.
A 2nd and 3rd round pick for the consensus #1 non NHL player last year is an absolute steal. Of course he hasn’t played a single minute in the NHL yet but players like Artemi Panarin and Evgeny Dadonov have come over and had phenomenal success. Add on a 2 year contract with a $4.5m AAV and this deal is a massive win. Consider it the bow on top of a perfect offseason.
