That post twisted things around backwards. I'd take Briere in a second over Gomez. Briere one of top scoeres last 5-6 years in playoffs and 1 million less cap hit. Gomez has added nothing last 2 years. Nothing? Two years ago, BOTH Gomez and Briere had very similar playoff production. Briere = 6GP, 1G, 3A = 4pts Gomez = 7GP, 2G, 3A = 5pts Then last year, Gomez = 19GP, 2G, 12A = 14pts On paper it would appear that Briere had a "better" playoffs than Gomez. But Briere also played one extra round. If you exclude that extra round Briere got: 17GP, 9G, 9A = 18pts Briere had an outstanding Finals with 12 points. But even if he was on the Habs (if we are saying Briere is better than Gomez) Briere's production wasn't THAT much better than Gomez's to get the Habs to the Finals, IMO. I don't see much in Gomez, we just see his play differently I guess. Best I can say |

Of course you're right Doc. I never seriously expected Molson's to send Gomez to the minors. To do that you have to presuppose that Molson's is more interested in the hockey product than the bottom line. (Short pause to allow everyone to recover from laughing fit) The other possible solution really is what should be done. We should have the most ridiculously paid checking centre in hockey history. Play Gomez on the 4th line. Tell him it's his challenge to make a goal scorer out of Tom Pyatt (Short Pause number II to allow paramedics to administer oxygen) Desharnais and Eller can fight over the 2nd centre spot and even in their sleep will be able to put up 43 points. So there's no loss there and a possible huge upside. That's pretty well it. Not so complicated if one is willing to swallow a rather large lump of pride. Boston did have a 4 million dollar third/fourth liner .... |

Always like to check out everyones buddy Eklund to see what hels throwing out there and he's actually being pretty damn cruel teasing us with the possibility Gomez could be headed to Phoenix...if ever he was right.
Moving that contract would be huge we can only dream.

Anything is possible I suppose. Nobody thought Sather would be able to get rid of that contract the first time around, and yet... Personally I think he could be moved very easily. But the return... well, I don't think we'd be able to free up huge amounts of salary in any Gomez deal. I think we could easily trade him for somebody else's mistake, in other words. Something like Gomez for Komisarek for example. Would we want to make such a deal? Never. Gomez/Kessel would give us fits for years. Komisarek's play in our end would give us fits for years. |
