Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils player profile: Nikita Gusev
- Todd.Cordell
Shero really brought this club into relevancy. We were a joke 2 years ago, had what appeared to be a unanimous #1 offseason, and fell flat. Not his fault. He recruited Butch and Gusev, who could easily become major trade assets, or remain with this club for the long haul. The fact that goose is only playing 14:30 a night is astonishing. He could be a 1ppg player if he was playing 19+ like most the 1ppg guys in this league. Hopefully a 3-5 year extension around 5.5m AAV can be inked asap
