Gourde had emerged as a leader during his time in Seattle, selected in the 2021 expansion draft by the Kraken and leading a fledgling team to the playoffs in its second year of existence. But it was in Tampa where he had his best hockey memories centering the invaluable third line on back-to-back Stanley Cup winners. Now, he will remain with the Lightning.
