Hate trades within the div.

Also, doesn't this guy have some behavioral issues?

[Skooby]

I've been watching NHL Network & they're interviewing Gorges. He couldn't get past the rivalry he had for so long with Toronto, so he came to Buffalo. The hosts were kind of making a lighter situation of it but Gorges was very serious.

[trapezeus]

you don't see that much. players having that same passion as the fans.

i don't know much about him, but he's a few dollars closer to the floor.

[casdhf]

Also has 3 years left on his deal

[SkateZilla]

3.9 Million down, 16.1 to go.....

(or was it 2.9 mill?)

Dont remember, and cap geek servers are taking a dump right now.

Buffalo's Salary was #30 in the league.. lol.

It wasn't scripted, it's actually a rarity to see someone this passionate. I like him.

He actually blocked a trade to Toronto using his NTC.

Buffalo was Not on the 15 Teams he would not accept a trade to.

I have a feeling the Buffalo Toronto games might be a bit more exciting.

It's a 2016 2nd rounder, btw.

Not at all. He'll bring really good vet leadership.

Yeah I think I got him confused with someone else. I had NHL network radio on in the car yesterday and they were discussing him but I was only half paying attention. They must've moved on to someone else when they were talking about problems and I missed it.

[JATMtheJATM]

so the sabres traded for a guy with an "A" on his jersey, and signed for a guy with a "C" on his jersey. so, yes, we have vet leadership that will help the kids.

this team added assets, maybe only for a short amount of time, that will pay dividends in the rebuild for years to come.

[Crisis]

The 2nd rounder is the Wild's 2016... so we're not even going to give up our pick in the 30's in all likelihood in 2016. Really good trade.

"I've grown to hate this team. To play against them, how could I really go and put my heart and soul into it?" - Gorges on TO.

Might be my new favorite player already..

He basically said his hate was building for years as well, I can't really argue with that logic.

[GreedoII]

This is a great trade.

[trapezeus]

i hope gorges knows our home games get sold to toronto fans, so he'll be playing in front of a hostile crowd until we make the playoffs.
