TAMPA, Fla. — In a major three-team trade with the Seattle Kraken and Detroit Red Wings, the Tampa Bay Lightning are acquiring forwards Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand, along with a fifth-round draft pick in 2026.

The Lightning also got unsigned defenseman Kyle Aucoin as part of the trade.

The team sent conditional 2026 and '27 first-round picks, a second-rounder this year and winger Mikey Eyssimont to the Kraken and a fifth-rounder this year to the Red Wings.

The Kraken retained half of Gourde's salary and the Red Wings another quarter, so the Lightning get him at the bargain cap hit of just under $1.3 million.

The first-round picks the next two years are top-10 protected, and Seattle could receive additional compensation as a result.

Gourde returns to Tampa Bay after Seattle chose him in the 2021 NHL expansion draft.

He skated with the Lightning during their back-to-back Stanley Cup championship run in 2020 and 2021.

Gourde leaves Seattle as the franchise's all-time leader in takeaways (192), shorthanded points (8) and penalty minutes (tied).

Bjorkstrand, since joining Seattle in the 2022-23 season, has led the Kraken in 140 takeaways, while ranking second with 56 goals, 141 points and 17 power-play tallies.

Last season, Bjorkstrand represented the Kraken at the NHL All-Star Game and logged a career-high 39 assists and 59 points.
