Josh Gorges still smarting a bit from Montreal letting him go. Trying to move on...


“I would’ve loved to stay and try to achieve my ultimate goal in Montreal and win a Stanley Cup there, but that wasn’t meant to be,” Gorges said. “Whatever the reasons, that’s not our job as players to figure out.

“At the end of the day, you live with the decisions that are made above you. We understand that’s the business we’re involved in.”

Pressed on whether he received a satisfactory reason for being traded and subsequent closure, Gorges said: “Not really, and to be honest, I don’t need one or want one. It doesn’t do me any good, it doesn’t do my family any good . . . the thing for us is to look ahead, look to the future and what’s in front of us.”


“Talking with the guys in Buffalo, the management and ownership and some players, that’s our next challenge, is to try to grow a team that can win a championship in Buffalo. That’s where my mindset is, that’s where my head is at.”
