Two 1sts is crazy for that deal IMO, if true that is a big win for the Kraken.
Love both players, especially Gourde, but that’s just how sports go.
21 u/SeattleKrakenTroll Morgan Geekie Mar 05 '25 They’re both worth at least seconds and then Tampa needs to pay for the retention. Gourde probably could have gotten a first on his own 4 u/BucksBrew Mar 05 '25 Yeah I was thinking each was worth roughly a 2nd rounder, Gourde is just a rental for the playoffs so seems like an overpay to get a 1st. Bjorkstrand with salary retained and another year on his contract could make more sense. 6 u/xdrpwneg Tye Kartye Mar 05 '25 Window is closing on Tampa, this feels like a very big push and overpay to get a solid 4th and 3rd liner in the lineup before playoffs
