I think he'd waive his NTC to come home to Quebec IF he was guaranteed we were going to use him
To me Gourde for Byron
i'd do it straight up as short term TBL saves cap and term ,
Longterm they undo a trade they probably shouldnt have agreed to in its current structure much like MTL with Price there's buyers remorse on the Terms (not about the players )
but chances are that trade doesnt go over well so i added Kovalchuk for a short term reward seeing as Byron injured this will make TBL better today for a cup run .
you could attach AHL prospects i suppose if you want some sort of balance but i say acquiring Gourde is less of a gamble for MTL then leaving him where him in TBL is .
MTL he's playing infront of Family regularly and looking at his career splits his highest production is vs TML ,OTT,MTL and BUF all cities as close to home as possible .
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher #1
Drouin -Domi-Armia lock up #2
Gourde-Suzuki-Lehkonen #3
Cousins-Thompson-Poehling #4
Weise
As the bottom 3 develop we sell on our 4 UFA's Tatar,Danault, Gallagher and Armia if we're not in the playoffs next year .
Let Drouin-Domi-Poehling , Gourde-Suzuki-Lehkonen take over top 6.
