Description

Let this sit in...

Gourde makes 5.16 - 6 goals 13 assists

Shatt makes 1.75 - 7 goals 20 assists
Serg makes .894 - 7 goals 18 assists
Maroon makes .9 - 6 goals 10 assists
Verhaeghe makes .7 - 6 goals 4 assists
Cirelli makes .728 - 12 goals 22 assists

total 4,972 million - 38 goals and 74 assists

I see Gourde skating and trying. Just not working. He needs to be sent down to try to find his game and giving someone else his ice time. Martel, Conacher, Volkov, Smith or ABB all deserve the chance.

Is your goal by sending him to the AHL to kill his confidence even more, or straight up lose him on waivers? Frankly, you might accomplish both.

His contract is bad, but your only hope is to surround him with quality players which TB has plenty of.

I do not see anyone picking up the contract. He is playing 11 minutes a game on the fourth line. He does not deserve to be moved up in the line up. The purpose is to give him 20 minutes a night playing top line. with the hope of him playing out of the funk. He has not had a goal in over 2 months.

He would be claimed. His possession numbers are fine.
He is having a bad puck luck season. His shooting % dropped by almost 10%.

Ottawa claims him and deals him to Boston or Toronto with 50% retained for a 1st once he starts off well there because he's getting more ice time and 1st PP time.

No way Ott and that owner would retain $2.55M for the next 5 years ($12.75m of real $) to get a pick in the late 20's; not even sure you could validate doing it for anything outside the top 8
I suspect Stevie Y might low ball JB in the offseason as they have tones of space
