Rumor: Josh Gorges (Possibly being traded some time soon)

[hockeyfan2k11]

I guarantee we will lose any trade involving Gorges, thus it is wiser to keep him. Emelin would make a lot more sense to trade.

Welp, he's gone anyways. The damage is done.

Gorges won't play with the Habs again, be prepared to deal with it or you will be upset.

Physicality. That's why Emelin is staying put.

TBH, I don't think I could deal with trading away our one weapon in that department. There has to be some fear in another team when crossing our blue line, as much as I'm a fan of talent and skills.

And Gorges brings neither of those two things either . He is a very good defensive top 4.... but I would wager PK would produce more with someone a little more offensively adept as his partner.

Physicality is extremely overrated, as for Emelin, when hits come at the expense of defence then what's the point?

If the Habs were getting something decent from the Leafs and not Franson I'd like for Gorges to waive and go to the Leafs. If however it's Gorges for Franson, thank you Gorges for nixing the trade to the Leafs.

I'll accept a Gorges trade if it means getting the Leafs first round pick, let's put it that way.

 

[Devourers]

If he really did care about the team and was a real competitor he'd have allowed the trade to go through. Toronto is a division rival and what better way to stick it to us than to play us often? It's clear they want to move him anyways.
