Exploring how the Blue Jackets can get Nikita Gusev

You’ve provably been hearing something about Nikita Gusev the last few weeks. The 26-year-old RFA forward from Russia is a member of the Golden Knights organization, but they are in a salary cap crunch and struggling to come to an agreement on a two-year pact with the winger.

There’s, at the very least, an outside chance the Blue Jackets would consider kicking the tires on a potential trade to acquire Gusev — if they’re not already — as well as probably all other 29 teams as they monitor the situation in Vegas.
