Vegas Golden Knights and Nikita Gusev: Are they any closer?

In what has rapidly become an offseason saga, there is still no concrete news on whether or not Nikita Gusev will return to the Vegas Golden Knights for 2019-20. He’s currently a restricted free agent and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

Here’s what we know so far; according to our good friend Jesse Granger at The Athletic, Gusev and his camp wants a two-year deal worth $4 million per year. However, the Golden Knights are only willing to give a two-year deal carrying an average annual value of $2 million.
