He can be a Jan Kovar or Shipachyov or he can be a panarin. There's clearly risk, which is why Vegas only thinks he was worth 2 mil. With that said, Kovar was a good KHL player, but he wasn't top 3 in the league with the elite International play that Gusev has had. To say Gusev is just another Jan Kovar is not fair to the guy until he shows otherwise. (Kovar proved within a few days he wasn't ready for the NHL).
If Vegas (who clearly have seen him play more than anyone) thinks he’s worth the risk? Why isn’t he a priority?
If Vegas wanted him at 2 million why should we give him 4???
Sorry, It’s someone else’s hype...
Billing this kid as the-next-could-be-maybe-Panarin... Isn’t fair either.
Nigel Dawes was the #2 scorer. A 33 yr old former Ranger.
Nail Yakupov finally scored 20 goals in the same KHL...
There are some exceptions, but I trust Vegas scouts over anyone’s opinion.
I’ll pass.
THERE IS NO WAY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH WILL I BE TRADING DOBSON OR WAHLSTROM FOR GUSEV.
