I'm going to start of by saying I'm quite suprised both players have been re-signed. Let's start with Sustr, personally I'm not a fan of his and with Yzerman looking to add a top 4 defenseman, I thought that would of pushed Sustr out the door. With Sustr re-signing I think he will be in competition with Koekkoek for the final spot on the 3rd pairing. I think Koekkeok will beat him out and then Sustr comes the 7th defenseman who can step in when there's an injury.
I'm glad to see Gourde under contract with Tampa, I do like Yanni but my question is where is he going to play? We are deep upfront and are looking to add a winger according to Joe Smith so where does Gourde fit in? Personally for that reason I thought he'd leave and found more money and a bigger opportunity out there like Marchessault did last year. Either way i'm glad to have Gourde back i'm just interested to see what role he'll play next year.
