The dog days of the summer are well and truly here and the Vegas Golden Knights are staring out onto the strip waiting for winter to arrive. In truth, they are probably far too busy to be sat staring at anything given that there is still a lot to be done before puck drops on Oct, 2.
Nikita Gusev’s new deal is of course top of that list and we are still none the wiser as to whether or not the Russian stud will re-sign with the Golden Knights or be traded elsewhere. There are reportedly a ton of suitors lining up for one of the most productive scorers in KHL history, but it will all hinge on whether or not the Knights can clear enough cap space to accommodate the 27-year-old.
