As a Lightning fan this deal makes me happy. As a SDPN fan this deal makes me happier. Gourde will be shipped out in year 4 to a playoff team of his choosing due to the full no trade clause.
So underrated
As a resident Lightning fan…heheheh!
That “noooooo” was personal lol
Steve reacted to this like one of his Horocrux's was destroyed.
Didn't know Steve was so interested in Yanni. He was the one I missed the most after the cup run, and so stoked he came back and hopefully for good this time. He belongs in Tampa forever! ⚡️⚡️
When everyone was saying Gourde was only a rental I thought they were crazy. Yanni wants to be in Tampa and they want him there. He was only lost in the expansion draft not by choice. He is not the same level as the cup years but for the AAV he will be an outstanding player for Tampa for the next 3-4. Can play on any line and gives Tampa some grit.
I've been a Lightning fan since the 92-93 inaugural season. Yanni Gourde is my favorite Lightning player of all time ahead of Rob Zamuner, Vinny, and Khabibulin. His story is great. Worked his butt off to get to the NHL.
It's cool that the Luongo deal was cap circumvention but these deals are okay. All they have to do is not retire and go on LTIR and it's fine.
Can I just say that I love it when you hear Maddie's laugh in the background! Adds such a needed level of depth to a situation. 😂😂😂
As a Lightning fan I already felt great about this deal and don't get the haters comments I've seen online AT ALL. The absolutely gutteral "NO!!!" from Steve really was the cherry on top.
Dangle doesn’t get that nobody wants to play for Toronto.
Steve been catching nothing but Ls this playoffs
From a Panther fan, it is definitely a good signing for Tampa. They got a competent front office and I expect them to do more impressive stuff before the start of next year.
Lightning culture baby.
Sign and trade later???
Dangle's reaction to the Gourde extension was similar to Jesse's reaction a few years ago when Detroit acquired Husso.
Wow that deal…
TAMPA BAY HAS MADE A LIVING off of Cap Space Hijinks. But Dont be mad, Laugh at it.
I love how the analysis of the contract was simply comparing it to other contracts, but never mentioning what this does for Tampa's lineup or cap situation, just to twist that knife deeper and deeper into Steve
Go Bolts! How we keep managing to get great contracts like these is beyond me. JBB isn’t perfect but damn is he good.
Tampa Logic, give Gourde 6yr deal but trade Stamkos away….
We love our Gourde!
Im not sure this is a great deal… even now Gourde has fallen off
Gourde is on my list of players I remember from old NHL franchise modes who were like bottom 6 or top 9 potential and never developed in game but a couple years later ended up being legit players
Other teams fans really undervalue how nice it is to live in Tampa. Throw in no state income tax and a front office with a winning mentality and it's a no brainer to come here. We'll see if it continues once the owner Vinik is gone.
why does leaf media whine about gourde deal but ok for tanev
current state of leafs fans: screaming in agony when yanni gourde can no longer sign with your team
This Kraken fan misses Yanni
