The New Jersey Devils have traded two draft picks to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for left-wing Nikita Gusev. This has been a move that Devils fans have been waiting for all summer. It was more of a dream for a while because of the fact that Vegas is cap-strapped and the Devils have lots of money to spend.
The deal started to materialize over the weekend as Gusev was given permission to speak to the Devils and the trade was finalized on Monday afternoon. It was a trade that made everyone happy and it fills out the Devils group of wingers quite nicely.
