Player Discussion: Former Bolts Thread

[FinnLightning26]

Keep talking about Jeannot but have more points than our 4th line. Cooper destroy some players here, Jeannot was one of the list, that doesn't liberate the GM for the worst trade ever in our history.

Jeannot was already coming down to earth. He had 14 points in 56 games in Nashville before the trade. Jeannot's 21-22 clearly was a huge fluke which he will never even come close to again.

Not so fun fact: Stammer is on pace to score 23 goals, Jeannot had 24 that season in Nashville.

Gourde is going to be cheap at the deadline if he keeps going at this rate.

Bogo scored two goals in two games in a row.

Not a goal scorer, but love to see it. Will always be a Bogo fan.

Don’t we have enough bottom-6 forwards who don’t score goals?

Buying low, which is pretty much all we can do?

I get that. Ace is pretty much playing Gourde’s role now though.

Stammer is 1-1 at even strength through 15 games

I wanted to keep Jack Thompson and get rid of Perbix. Didn't expect Raddysh to regress, but always wanted Thompson to get a bigger shot.

Wasn't really goal scoring that made him valuable to us. Gourde-Paul-Eyessimont would be fun.

I think that's really under-selling what Gourde brought in the playoffs.

He definitely has another gear in the playoffs.

Is Gourde done or is he having one of them cold streaks he had with us too? The guy puts his body on the line more than half a dozen prostitutes, someone like that can fall off a cliff in an instant.

If we removed emotion from the equation, there was always going to be a ton of logic behind letting a PP merchant with an $8M per multi-year contract walk. Especially when he no longer would have Kucherov on the opposite wing.

Player	GP	Goals	Assists	Points
Stamkos	16	4	4	8
Killorn	14	2	1	3
Palat	18	3	2	5
Gourde	16	0	4	4
Coleman	17	3	5	8
Goodrow	17	2	0	2

Thinking of guys we've had to let walk or trade in the last couple seasons...we might've lamented the salary cap restrictions forcing us to let these guys walk, but looking at their track records post-Lightning, there's Coleman's 30 goal season last year, Goodrow and Gourde had good seasons their first year after leaving (which would've been useful for us that year, admittedly) but sure seems we were going to be on a downhill slope regardless. These guys got old and declined too, at least they all made some pretty nice money in the process so good for them.
