Earlier this week, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now relayed (Twitter link<\/a>) that veteran winger Nikita Gusev<\/a> was on the ice on the Devils\u2019 improvement camp. \u00a0That wasn\u2019t essentially only a random alumnus popping by, nonetheless, as Championat\u2019s Dmitry Storozhev relays<\/a> that Gusev is hoping to return to the NHL for subsequent season.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old beforehand spent two years on the high degree, one going significantly better than the opposite. \u00a0In his first yr again in 2019-20 with New Jersey after being acquired from Vegas, Gusev did comparatively nicely, placing up 13 objectives and 31 assists in 66 video games whereas logging slightly underneath quarter-hour an evening of ice time. \u00a0Nonetheless, issues went off the rails the next season as he picked up simply two objectives and three assists in 20 video games earlier than finally having his contract terminated by the Devils late within the season. \u00a0From there, he signed with Florida, including 5 extra factors in 11 video games down the stretch.<\/p>\n

However after not getting a robust market in free company, Gusev finally determined to return to the KHL for the 2021-22 marketing campaign, signing with SKA St. Petersburg. \u00a0He produced slightly over a degree per recreation in his two seasons with them earlier than transferring to Dynamo Moscow for the 2023-24 marketing campaign after having his contract with SKA terminated.<\/p>\n

Gusev had a resurgent season with them, main the league in assists (66) and factors (89) whereas taking part in in all 68 video games. \u00a0He then adopted that up with ten factors in 9 postseason contests. \u00a0It\u2019s the second time he has led the KHL in scoring, the primary being 2018-19, the yr earlier than he first got here to the NHL.<\/p>\n

Whereas he has obtained a suggestion to stay with Dynamo Moscow or to affix different KHL franchises, it\u2019s telling that Gusev stays unsigned; this report that he\u2019s searching for one other NHL alternative would definitely clarify why he hasn\u2019t put pen to paper on a brand new deal but.<\/p>\n

Contemplating how his time within the NHL ended a couple of years in the past and the truth that quite a lot of groups have accomplished their heavy lifting roster-wise this summer time, it stands to cause that Gusev gained\u2019t have the ability to command a $4.5M AAV as he did final time. \u00a0Nonetheless, if a staff is trying so as to add some offensive creativity to their roster and Gusev\u2019s asking value is extra reasonably priced, he might be a very intriguing pickup for somebody within the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
