He's not offer sheet eligible this would have happened weeks ago by any other team weeks ago

Really not different from trading a 1st & a 3rd for Gusev. VGK would probably consider it even though they shouldn't.

I don't mind the idea of going after Gusev. Although I doubt Treliving leaves that much cap space to start the year.... might as well keep Stone and Czarnik for depth in that case. Also, your roster size is only 20 which would eat up some of that cap. I think the return on Frolik is optimistic I don't think he'll bring a 2nd let alone a 3rd and a 2nd. My guess is more like a 4th round pick - although a 3rd may happen if a team really wants to add him. I think Dube makes the team.
