Gourde has been on the 2nd line plenty. He usually shifts between the 2nd and 3rd lines, and is usually a solid 2 way player. Many on the Lightning have struggled offensively to start this season, not just Gourde. However his 5.17 aav is fair, his 2 full seasons he has produced 112 points in 162 games, or nearly .7 ppg. Even looking at his entire nhl career, he has 125 points in 194 games, or .64 ppg. That equates to a low to mid 50 point player, which makes his contract a fair one. The ntc may have been a mistake, but the value was not.
