i guess we could fire all our scouts
youp may as well buy an expansion team there is so much turnover and no accounting for salary cap

Well, his nick says it all. Burn them bloody boats!

If Gourde is fit (that's a big if) he's the guy you go after for 3C, I think Pageau would be better but I doubt Lou is going to sell

Gourde isn't big but he's gritty and he's been on long playoff runs and he's a natural center, he's also a 2-way all situations player to

this is an insane price to take on a bad contract

Maybe that's why CJ and Jonas haven't been hired?

What was he in Seattle, 3rd./4th. line center?

Looks like Wright has moved into the 3rd. line center spot now?

Gourde was taking about 10 face-offs per game, which is where Wright is now.

So Gourde would be 3rd. line center in Toronto? He's depth at this stage of his career.

Holy poop, Gourde has a $5mm Cap Hit? Obviously, he isn't worth anything at that Cap Hit, so obviously, with so little money left to pay, 50% retention goes without saying.

Dewar and Hirvonen for Gourde? Seattle gets a player they can keep for next year, for a 2 month rental and retention.
