Gourde is a playoff guy and a Coleman and Backlund type player. IMO he's better than Bjorkstrand.
Love this trade for both teams. Tampa is a threat to win another cup now.
Seattle has Wright who is near a PPG for the last 40 games getting 13 mins a game. He needs more ice, and they also added Kakko for way less than what they got for Bjorkstrand and Gourde. Kakko also has been playing very well in Seattle.
Seattle also is in striking distance for 3rd last OV. Nice little rebuild year without needing to be SJ or Chicago bad.
