The Tampa Bay Lightning re-sign Yanni Gourde
Puck Pedia: The Tampa Bay Lightning re-signed forward Yanni Gourde to a six-year, $2.33 million salary cap hit. He has a full no-trade clause.
2025-26: $1 million salary and a $2.01 million signing bonus
2026-27: $1 million and a $2.01 million signing bonus
2027-28: $1 million and a $1.56 million signing bonus
2028-29: $1 million and a $808,000 signing bonus
2029-30: $1 million and a $806,000 signing bonus
2030-31: $1 million and a $806,000 signing bonus
Yanni Gourde, signed 6x$2.3M by TB, is a two-way middle six veteran centre. Still a pesky forechecker, solid playmaker, good skater, and terrific penalty killer. Finishing touch as a net-crasher and deflector has left something to be desired. #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/WqJmmJY96D
