Nikita Gusev
Currently scoring at over a point per game pace in the KHL. Anyone knows when he crosses the pond? Apparently very good friends with Kucherov and Kuch is trying to encourage him to come over but he just signed a 2-year KHL extension I believe. Could he waive his KHL contract early?
Re: Nikita Gusev
He just signed the two-year extension, yes, for a pile of money. From what I read (there's not much out there I could find), he's there for two more years.
Maybe there's a way he could waive the contract, as you suggest...but if he were wanting to do that, why sign the contract?
So.....no, I don't know the answer to your question

Re: Nikita Gusev
Probably never. He's so so small.
Re: Nikita Gusev
I could see him coming over after his extension in the KHL is done, and if the Lighting have a roster spot he could claim easily

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
Re: Nikita Gusev
Damn I didn't realize he signed 2 year deal. I got him in all my keepers. But you never know 2 more years development could be very helpful
Re: Nikita Gusev
Everything about Gusev points to him staying in the KHL. His size, the new contract, future earnings. But with all of the other Russians in the Tampa system, there's a little glimmer of hope. I'd imagine that is specifically why Tampa used a draft pick on him, in hopes that his buddy Kucherov could get him to come over. I imGine he probably knows Vasilevskiy, Nesterov, and Namestnikov from somewhere playing as kids.
But really, right now, that's all there is for him maybe coming over.

Re: Nikita Gusev
is it safe to say Gusev is the best player outside the NHL right now? or no? I see some posters on Hfboards claim that Gusev was wanting to have one big year in KHL before coming over just to show he is ready for the NHL. Apparently he has an opt out clause in his contract according to what ive read so hopefully he comes to the NHL next season. Such a talented player.
Re: Nikita Gusev
Sergei Mozyakin is the best player outside the NHL. Even Kovalchuk is better than Gusev in my opinion. A case could also be made for Jan Kovar and Vadim Shipachyov but of course it's more difficult to compare wingers to centers.Originally Posted by StuntMan12
As far as I know, players can get out of their KHL contract only if they buy it out themselves. I don't remember if they need to pay 50% or 67% of the remaining contract value to the team but either way it's a big chunk of money. Very few players want to go down that road but it has been done before.
