- Louis Jean: Sources saying the Maple Leafs offered a forward to the Canadiens for Josh Gorges. They have been very aggressive.
- Elliotte Friedman: (just after midnight EST) Doesn’t look like Josh Gorges will change his mind about accepting a trade to Toronto.
- Hope Smoke: Renaud Lavoie: “It would be a surprise if Josh is traded to the Leafs. I don’t see it happening right now.” … “Josh is gone. I don’t see him coming back with the Canadiens next season” … “My understanding is that there is one key player who Montreal wants that is on the market right now & they need to free up $” … “They realized that when Gorges is making $4m with 4 yrs left he is the one to go Not that they don’t like him,but need to free up $” … “Is Gorges going to be traded in the next few hours? It’s possible. Is it going to be something that he’ll appreciate? Nope.” … “It began with Toronto calling about Josh Saturday and it turned into Josh being put on the market for those 15 teams on his list” … “Josh modified his list today and put a couple more teams on his list. There is at least 1 Canadian team there, it’s not Toronto“
- Dave Stubbs: “A player can bargain at least some control in where he may be traded. #Habs Gorges has Leafs, 12 others on a “no” list. His negotiated right”
- Ryan Rishaug: The Oilers are not on Gorges trade list.
- Jim Matheson: If Oilers Jeff Petry is available, GM Craig MacTavish’s feelings have changed. They loved him heading into last season. If he is available, they need to get a young center for him.
- Joe Haggerty: The Bruins are looking to trade Jordan Caron. They feel he could use a fresh start somewhere.
