“The Vegas Golden Knights have selected defenseman Jason Garrison from the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Expansion Draft. In addition, the Lightning sent them the rights to Nikita Gusev along with a 2017 second-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick in exchange for the Golden Knights to take Garrison.” [Raw Charge]
Garrison provided one of my fondest playoff memories in recent history. I hope Vegas treats him well.
The decision to move Gusev’s rights to Vegas wasn’t a total surprise. Natalia translated a Russian article yesterday that suggested as much.
