The Devils furthered that questwhen the team and subsequently . The Devils acquired left-wing Nikita Gusev from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for New Jerseys third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and the clubs second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. New Jersey Devils (@NJDevils) Vegas received two draft picks in the exchange: the Devils' third-round selection in the 2020 draft and the team'ssecond-round pick in 2021. Gusev, 27, was originally drafted in the seventh round of the 2012 draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning but has never played an NHL game. Instead, the Ru sian stayed in his home country and developed intoone of the KHL Leury Garcia Jersey 's top stars,leading Ru sia's top profe sional league with 82 points last season.He alsoregularly represents his country in international competition and scored 16 points in 10 games during the 2019 Men's IIHF World Championships. Vegas acquired the rights to Gusev's NHL contract during the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. The team on April 17, 2019; however, his one-year contract expired after the season, making him a restricted free agent. We did our best to accommodate Nikita and his salary request but were unable to do so. He is a good person, a good player and we wish him well in New Jersey, said Vegas Golden Knights General ManagerGeorge McPhee in a statement. When you have a roster comprised of players who are deserving of a certain salary range you are not always able to make room for everyone. This is the reality of having a good team in the salary cap world. The trade and subsequent contract signing gives the Devils another offensive weapon on the left wing to pair with either of the team's young centers inHughes or Nico Hischier. Gusev is an a sist machine and racked up 65helpers in 2018-19 79% of his total points production. Those numbers likely won't be as high against tougher competition in the NHL, but Gusev should still offer quality offense. According to , New Jersey has $12,445,000 remaining insalary cap space for the 2019-20 season after Monday's transactions. Oscar Colas Jersey
