MattPie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Surprising Montreal would trade him to a division rival... If they were willing to send him to the Loafs, they MIGHT have been willing to talk to the B's. Though had the Nords remained in place, probably would have even spoken to them; though they'd've put an IED in his hockey bag. Rival is a stretch for the Sabres and anyone for the next few years. Maybe they figure by time the Sabres are good enough to be a problem, he'll be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 So long as we continue to pillage, there is at least one team that won't let go. One team or one fanbase? FWIW, when they were in Hartford, the fanbase (more or less misguidedly) thought the Sabres had a rivalry w/ them too. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm fine with that. I trust that the Isles will be terrible and we can still get our guy in the draft with their pick! They signed TJ brennan , so yeah :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 And this was a trade for a 2nd rounder in 2016 I had overlooked that before. Even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 From his conference call. I knew my time in Montreal was over and looking ahead I wanted to evaluate the teams on the list," Gorges said. "Looking at Buffalo, I always had a lot of respect for Ted Nolan as a head coach, the new ownership, what they're doing with the that team and the direction they're heading. I felt it was a good opportunity to go in and help with a good, young time. I figured it's a good fit for me and for my family and we're excited about it."

will Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Do you think this is a just ploy to keep McDavid out if their division? If so, it's no wonder Toronto was their first potential trade partner. They goin' to be scary bad this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnychimpo017 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Why isn't anyone asking the important question.... With Moulson and Gorges both wearing #26, whose name am I going to get to write on yellow duct tape to slap on my Vanek jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Why isn't anyone asking the important question.... With Moulson and Gorges both wearing #26, whose name am I going to get to write on yellow duct tape to slap on my Vanek jerseys? Has to be Moulson. He wore it here just a short while ago. The team would likely push Gorges to take something else. Gorges wore 7 in Kelowna (retired in Buffalo), 6 in SJ (taken by Weber) and 26 otherwise (may be taken by Moulson). Moulson has worn multiple other numbers including 28 in LA (Girgensons) and 24 at Cornell. But I still think the smart move is to have Moulson stick with 26.
