If the Leafs deal turned out to be Gardiner and Gorges blocked it... **** him.
That would be highway robbery by Bergevin.
Nah, it could have been Gunnarsson AND A 5TH ROUND PICK!!!1!1!!!

Gorges leaked it. They asked him to waive his NTC and he got mad, leaked it to the press and tried to spin an angle with Stubbs that made him look like the victim in all of this.
There's no way he's back with the team.
I agree.This^
So many haters when in reality this could all be for Franson. Imagine that happened. I would love to see everyone's reactions. People acting like any defense of Gorges is automatically an invalid point. Even outside of his dedication -- he is the best defensive defenseman on the Habs, it's not like he's chopped liver. I too am the furthest thing from a Gorges lover, but I sure as hell am glad whenever he's on the ice. Him returning from injury was huge for the Habs.
NTC is a NTC. You just cannot call someone a baby for exercising it. Maybe all of your professional contracts or other legal protections should just be revoked. You know, cuz "it's hockey".
Tinordi can just go the komisarek route and goad this guys in and skate away...
Seems to really throw Looch off his game, actually.

Feeling of déjà vu here. Replace the name of Gorges with Komisarek and you have this thread like several years ago. Shutdown defenseman, ultimate **** blocker, potential future captain, offensively challenged ...

I agree.
Even if it's Kadri and Gardiner (which it's not), you can't be mad at Gorges for exercising his right. You can be mad at management that gave him that deal.
People here will ***** because it's entertainment, but it's his life. It's his job. If he has a contract, that's what it is. Sucks, but that's what our team did.

To be fair, Komisarek ditched the Habs (pretty much the opposite) and Gorges was never an NHL ALL-STAR.
He would be very useful to the leafs. I can see why they want him. I don't see how they would give up Gardiner for him though.

They should really just waive Gorges so Buffalo picks him and he gets stuck in a **** city with a **** team where he will likely get sent down before the end of his deal.
What an idiotic moron. Go cry some more on Stubbs' shoulder Gorges. I don't think Lafleur made as big a deal when he left the habs.
Apparently you have no sense of what has ever happened between Komisarek and Lucic. And that includes when he was with the Leafs.
Yes. IF.
Still, not **** him, more like **** the fact he was given the provisional NTC. He wants to play for a winning team. Even said those days may be numbered after the playoffs. Still, he considers us to be a ticket and the leafs not (not to mention there IS a real rivalry between fans and players, it's idiotic to deny it.)
I think he realized it just fine during the lockout when he threw his former teammate Hamrlik under a bus.
I always disliked the player, and the person. Now it's reaching new heights. Gorges, go away we don't want you.
Can we be mad at Gorges for alerting the media and turning this into a circus though?

Idiotic moron? The guy took less money to get a NTC. He has every right to not go to Toronto if he doesn't want to.
Less money? Gorges got more than market value AND a ntc.

Is that how you treat a guy that is proud to wear the CH ?
Gorges did not take less money to get that NTC. He was overpaid the moment he signed that contract. He still is.
That's not how a negotiation works. You can look at it like that, but it is a business. He took less money than he could have gotten, however much less that was, in exchange for the NTC.
