The 4th Period/Pagnotta mentioned that Vegas is one of the teams that is interested in acquiring Yanni Gourde.

What's everyone think? I think this is exactly the kind of add we need to make – probably will be cheap, and I think he'd thrive on our team. Physical, mean, hard on the puck. But also still has some offensive upside, even though his numbers haven't been great in Seattle this year. But we all know how Vegas tends to bring out the best in players.

  1. I’m interested, but at what cost and where in the lineup?

    He’d probably work with Hertl on the wing?

    He’s also a pending UFA, so the price should not be steep.

  2. I think this is a great fit. Kelly is probably going bargain hunting rather than adding a big fish with a bigger price tag. Like the cup year, grab a couple middle 6 guys and plug them in. Barbie was a 4th liner.

  3. It’s crazy to think our team should be fucked with though. We’re coming into mid season and our boys are meshing well. Even the line rotations with Barbs and Roy out are clicking well and getting things done. Our November and December numbers are incredible with who we have.

  4. I wouldn’t mind adding Gourde at all, I agree in thinking he’s the perfect type of player to add.

  5. I’m hard-pressed to believe that this team would chase a short player at the deadline. Maybe if the price is less than a 2nd I could see it, but its certainly not their MO.

  6. as a lightning fan, yes please. this guy is a champ, and knows how to get in the dirty areas and is a playoff proven player. if the price is right, he can help with depth down the stretch.

  7. the only player i think it would be worth sitting rn would be holtz

    it would be a crime to mess with the chemistry and tip to bottom scoring rn
