If Gourde waives to Philly I'd do that.

wow that is not the backup that will get the job done

Of course you would, you are going in raw on that one! Gourde is an excellent 3rd liner but that's all he is. This is a massive overpay!

Obviously you don't watch him much

Here we go...homer over-valuing his players.

Here we go fool undervaluing guys. Is he worth a 1st 3rd and 2 meh prospects probably a bit of an overpay,but he's just a good 3rd liner utterly delusional. He's only a third liner because he's on Tampa Bay he's top 6 25 other teams maybe more.

Or did he benefit from playing on a 3rd line and getting easier matchups...he's a third liner, a very good one! In this trade, you are basically getting 3 1sts, one of which is #13 OA, that is a massive overpay!

Patrick no longer qualifies as first value sorry. Patrick might bring a 2 back. Gourde was constantly up against other teams top lines and frequently played top fowards minutes

Patrick and a 3rd would likely net a 1st.

I agree

So that would make this trade Gourde for 3 1sts which is asinine! Can almost get Eichel for that.

Honestly don't know much about the other kid so I'll grant it is an overpay but my argument is on 25 teams not named Tampa Bay he'd be a Top 6 guy. Maybe a top 6 on TB next season also I think Palat is gone Gourde might be that corners go get the puck guy for Kucherov and Point
