Description

All agree that Tyler Johnson is #1 desired Tampa player to be traded. But should we need a #2 .. my vote is Gourde:
1. He did have a great playoff Cup run. No doubt.
2. But previous 2 season were really bad .. 4th line .. ever since he signed that 6 year $32M contract.
3. His play was GREATLY enhanced playing with Coleman and Goodrow.
4. I would take Killorn over Gourde in a heartbeat. KILLORN more a leader, goal scorer, plays 2nd line and PP, and much better contract .. 3 year 13M.
4. Paquette could slide into 3C role with little issue .. and 4M cheaper than Gourde.

Gourde contract cost us 90 pt. JT Miller last year .. will it be Killorn (or one of RFAs) this year.. sell Gourde high ASAP

Good analysis of Gourde the whole Tampa situation. Montreal is one of few teams that can take on Gourde and his 5.16m cap without shedding cap. Maybe, (though I doubt it) he would have waive for Montreal. But let's imagine he does and it might be the only team that waives for, his "trade" value is very low. Tampa might just take a 7th rounder and say thank you as it allows them to sign Circelli for instance.

QUESTION .. hopefully we trade Johnson and Gourde .. my dream scenario for Tampa ... BUT if we waive/buy them out .. doesnt that save us 2/3 of their combined cap hit of $11M in 2020? So around 8M? I know we would still owe another 1/3 in future but don't you want to do this now .. next year we have Coleman (has to be resigned) and Goodrow due up ..

I think this is enough .. if need few million more look at Mc Ilhaney, Colburn and Paquette ( although he favorite of mine due to versatility and grit)

I assume you mean Cernek not Shatterkirk .. he gone

You're not getting an early 2nd for Gourde. Even MTL cant swallow that contract without Tampa paying them to do so.
