trade reaves keep gusev

Gusev wants 4x2. He will not sign for less than that, stop making AGM pretending he's gonna

Salary dump like Reaves might take a bit more. Especially since teams know the Knights are tight on the cap.

Nobody ever asks for exactly what they'll accept. Always a little higher. Negotiation can and more times than not bring down the cap hit they originally were asking for. Its not like Gusev has a ton of options. If he did than he could stand pat at 4M until someone finally signs him. He doesn't. Its Vegas or KHL.

I get what you mean but its not like OP offered 1.5M for 4 years. Its pretty close and very much a possibility man. I think your overreacting for nothing.

I'm very calm to be fair, we're discussing hockey is not a metter of life and death, lol.
He's russian, they never accept less money, they always got what they ask or they go home. If he stays in Vegas is gonna be for the money he wants, I have no doubt about it

"He will not sign for less than that, stop making AGM pretending he's gonna" - I'm being calm.....

But what other stereotypes can we add to make your assessment valid? (In strong russian accent) He and Mcphee will drink Wodka till 3 in the morning, Gusev will have russian Bear force him to agree to 4M meelions for 2 years....
