Thread: trade reaves keep gusev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>And every Russian whose ever lived has never taken less than their initial offer???? Come on man....

Gm's job is to negotiate with the agent and eventually both sides make concessions. The better player is and the more options he has the better the odds he has of making what he wants. Gusev has to accept Vegas or he may not play in the NHL this year... which was his goal from the start. He could have stayed in Russia and got paid his 4M if he wanted to.</div></div>

His agent said that if they don't find the right deal by the deadline day they decided he will go back to SKA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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

Thread: Thoughts on the team as it stands
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>Yeah he'll have to carry the team, but if the goals don't come again he can stand on his head all season and it won't matter</div></div>

I think the team will retool a bit for two or three years. Make the best out of the opportunities in the trade market and stay away from Free Agency, give young guys time to develop, play who's ready and fill the rest with some veteran guys on one year deals while fixing the mistakes Murray made in the last few seasons to stay competitive at all costs (trading Theodore in the expansion draft, new contracts for Eaves, Silfverberg, Henrique) is now the best things you can do.
Obviously all of this will be pointless if they don't draft well, but they've always been reliable on that, I think the Ducks will be back on track
