    Gusev on waivers




    Unlike Ghostbear Gusev is a UFA after this season. Hasn't been great this year by any means but could someone take a swing at him? He also has a modified NTC so I wonder if Jersey has tried to trade him and couldn't get him to waive?

    I wonder if the Rangers put in a claim.

    Could see Toronto, Washington, or Boston biting at him.

    Would be shocked if he signs in the NHL this summer... seems like the KHL is better for both his game and wallet.

    If he has a modified NTC - does that provide any protection from being waived and claimed?

    No. He could have a full no-move clause and it still wouldn't protect him from being claimed.

    Toronto isn't going to take a swing at a $4m Gusev.
    I doubt he gets claimed.

    They wouldn't do this. They are already struggling to fit Kravtsov, Gauthier and Blackwell.

    I could see a bottom feeder team claiming him and then flipping him with salary retention for another asset.

    I'm sure he's being waived because NJ tried to trade him already without success.

    doesnt really seem like he got his fair shot at deployment in nj. from everything i've read about him, it seems he def has the talent to be in the nhl but obviously not in nj.

    There's more value in getting him in a trade at half of his remaining cap hit and with taxi squad eligibility

    He got his chances. He just can't skate.

    I've seen that mused in the ramblings on this site often but it's simply not true. He looked AWFUL this year on a regular basis. Lazy play, constant missed opportunities, overholding the puck, forcing weak passes, and awful in his own end. It was so frustrating to see. He received tons of opportunity but that opportunity was quickly reduced because of how bad he performed. He has talent but clearly has not been working hard whatsoever. Hopefully for him he can put it together, but he seems to lack the intangibles and drive that need to be coupled with raw skill to be successful in the NHL.

    Eric is probably correct here. Gusev clears, maybe the Devils can retain salary and get something for him from a team to send straight to their taxi squad.
