he's the one that joined Vegas during the playoffs. He's an RFA right now but Vegas can't afford poop with their cap situation. Trading for his rights and getting a deal done would be great. Scoring in the KHL is really low and he put up a lot of points. He might be a hidden gem that could be gotten for cheap.

So let them keep the kid on the cheap. I'll gladly alleviate their cap situation by absorbing Touch's contract. 4.75M AAV for the next 7 year, 23 years old, this perennial 20 Goal power RW couldn't fit better with our squad!
If not him, I would happily settle for Gusev on the LW, or target Marchassault. Regardless, they are 3M over the cap and have only 5 D, and 1 Goalie. Something has to give.
To Vegas: Zajac 50% retained salary, Mcleod, Mueller
To NJD: Touch, Statsny
Saves Vegas about 6.75M AAV and gives them a quality shutdown 3C and affordable contracts to fill their roster.
