Vegas can’t take any cap back, so we would need to trade someone else to another team (maybe even two players off our roster)
Also Vegas is in our division so wouldn’t want to trade with a team they are likely to meet in the playoffs if they improve that team
ALSO Gusev looks really good but there is really no guarantee he is a better NHL player than Frolik (who I assume we would need to part ways with to make a Gusev trade happen). He hasn’t played a game yet and the leagues are very different. Shipyachov had similar production and wasn’t good enough to stick.
It’s not the one way contract that’s an issue, it’s eveyrhing else
