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.
The speculation surrounding Jason Garrison has been pretty strong the past few days so it’s not much of a surprise that he was involved in the deal. The news about Nikita Gusev though came around just this morning. Gusev was a seventh-round pick of the Lightning in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
