He's not a free agent until after the 2024-'25 season. He would be 33 by then.

Gourde will wear an A in Seattle (rotation between four players).

Yes, end of September they announced he’s out for two months after shoulder surgery. So he should come back in late November / early December if my math is right.

He's already skating. Was wearing a no contact jersey in practice in the preseason, but already isn't. He accompanied the Kraken on their opening 5 game road trip. I'm not sure he'll get in a game on the trip, but, I bet he's really hoping to go in the home opener next week.

Too bad Seattle wanted him. He'd have been perfect LTIR space to trigger the haters for a bit longer

So I was watching highlights of the Seattle game yesterday, and I’ve NEVER seen anyone look as depressed as Gourde did after both scoring and assisting a goal in a game his team was winning. Was this his usual MO celebration in Tampa or is he just really not happy he got picked by Seattle?
4:06 and 5:12
Guy barely raises his arms and there’s no smile at all, lol.

He had as many chill moments as hype ones. I'll say this much: the Lightning have been together so long it may as well be a family and anyone would be bummed to leave to some degree. But you can't read into this. He just won 2 straight Cups and went to Seattle. That's like asking the dude who won $15 million on a scratch off if he's mad he just won $1 million on the next one he played. Gourde is gonna do just fine for himself

Wow he looks pissed. Usually Yanni would be jumping and smiling after every goal. The guy never took a day off and always played with emotion. Odd one for sure…

He scored a nice goal and he looked like his dog died. I would imagine he doesn't like it there. Not an easy place to adjust to all of a sudden when you've been in Florida for several years.
He's super competitive. I can imagine buying into the team as-is is pretty tough right now.
It might not be Seattle he might just be going through personal stuff. Or, there's also the fact that he's a captain now so he feels a need to project a more even keel persona?

This, wouldn't read too much into it, could be off-ice stuff. He's also in a more prominant leadership role there, he was a kid having fun here. He's producing for them which is what matters.

I too think he’s just trying to act cool. “Yeah, scored a couple, no biggie. Wanna see my rings?”

No one loves getting a gloved punch in the face more than Yanni.
