No to debrusk but I think the idea of sending a wad of cash to try out Gusev is genious.
He's older, and KHL imports typically get short contracts to start. We have room to overspend on him for a single year (maybe 2) and have a former friend and team mate of his on the roster. We've recently improved our russian assets.
The biggest benefit here is the potential positive impact on Kuzmenko and his trade value next season. Imagine if these guys could pop with Sharango in the middle? We'd be sitting on another gold mine in trade assets to help this rebuild fly.
