As I said in the previous thread. 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 indeed Gorges for Franson, thank you Gorges for nixing the trade to the Leafs.

At this point it's clear that it would be a bad idea to bring hime back. Would be awkward...

Waiving him would be stupid, so hopefully we can at least get a decent pick or prospect for him if a team doesn't want to give up a roster player.

Can't see many good offers being out there with teams knowing waivers could be a possibility.

 

[Gustave]

It seems we are looking at Boyle per La Presse. Would explain the need to shed salary in the back.

 

[Big Lurk]

Poor Josh. Might as well waive it now brah brah

 

[EveryDay]

Gorges + DD for a RHD or a Top 6 RW or LW

 

[Tyson]

Trading with Toronto or Boston should never happen....rivals rarely trade.

Why the HE double hockey sticks would you want Dan Boyle he is 38 years old,and he sure did a lot to help San Jose in the playoffs,i would rather take my chance with right handed shot D-man Magnus Nygren and his 105 MPH slapshot.

True but if he hits waivers he might get claimed before any team interested gets a chance to get him.

Would imagine it's because he'd take a 1-2 year deal.

Maybe if you add a first rounder to that.

Scraps rarely get quality.

Colonel Potter much?

To me, waiving or trading Josh Gorges for any trash player would be a terrible asset management.

I'm well aware Bergevin wants to clear some cap space, but trading someone as useful as Gorges for peanuts only because he's overpaid by a few is terrible.

Valentko had a big shot too...

Gorges can get you a top 6 winger, hell Brière just did.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

If we trade Gorges and use the cap space to bring in Boyle it definitely gives us a strong (if not ancient) top 4, however leaves with basically nobody on the back end who can kill a penalty.

This! Especially a guy like Gorges.

I doubt Bergevin will trade or waive Gorges for a worse player.

PK can easily take over Gorges minutes on the PK. He did it this year when Gorges went down and our PK was 6-52, which is 89% efficiency, better than our number for the whole season.

If Gorges is gone there's definitely a good chance Tinordi will make the team and be taking a lot of his PK minutes. Markov, Emelin and Subban all played quite a bit of time on the PK last year as well.

Can't blame Gorges for not wanting to go to Toronto, especially if you want to win lol

 

[Seb]

As far as I know, looking at the Leafs roster, the only players who could fit in a trade would be Franson or Gardiner.

Let's just hope it's not Franson.

rumour floating around Habs and Stephane Robidas

Would rather give up Gorges for Franson.

Robidas is done.

Grant pretty much all but confirmed it in the last thread. Looks like it was franson. Which is ****ing awful.
