Projecting Gorges
Josh Gorges is an interesting case. Passed over in his draft year of 2002, he attended the Sharks camp that fall and they signed him. Since then he's been on an above average track in his NHL career.
Gorges appears to be ahead of Rivet, Rivers, Dykhuis and Lukowich at 23.
A couple of Bruins - one past and one present - seem very similar to Gorges. Both Sweeney and Ference are undersized defensive guys, OK puck movers, and late round draft picks. They both logged reasonably big minutes, though Sweeney spent a lot of them next to that Bourque fella. Last year Ference signed a UFA deal for 3 years at $1.4M per.
Gorges looks a lot like Ference, but with less PIMs. Should be a solid #4-5 defenceman.
