billy-piton Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 wow drury? gomez? interesting heres our answer Scott gomez coming to montreal http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/277501.html i cant belive this is happening! this is even worse than briere rumour! i was joking about redden, but gainey out top even the biggest nightmere! he took 5'11 center who scored "impressive" 58 points last year AND cost 7.3 million cap hit (which is even more than vinny does) until summer of 2015.! great job gainey! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habitant1 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 7.3 mill average till 2014... That may be the last straw for Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-1 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Wow..... were gonna pay 8 millions a year (for the next 2 season) for a guy who had 1 season of 84 pts. What is Bob Gainey thinking ? What's next ?!?!? He's gonna sign Koivu at 6.5 for 5 years ? This is unbelievable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teststory Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 You're right. But we traded Higgins for him, what do you expect? He's not a first liner either. We would probably have to put a lot more into the mix to get a solid first or second liner. I'm not sure, but Higgens is a lot to pay for someone making that much money against the cap. I just hope Gomez can perform as a solid first line center with the right wingers because making that much money it will be expected of him.

sssfffs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Gomez is a really good played but 7.3 million.. come on gainey. On the bright side we can still get the sedin twins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9400ernie Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Wow if we were gonna pay that much anyway we should have pushed a little harder for a better player like lecevalier of Gaberik.I think we got a pretty good player but 8 million..ouch.

Bastian_mtl Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yippie, another small (5'11'') centerman. Thought Gainet was trying to get bigger down the middle?? Not that I don't like Gomez, but I'd prefer him be our 2nd line center, so we'd still need to find that 1st line center we've been trying (for years) to get. With that being said, I have no problems with Higgins leaving town. Should be interesting. Let's see who else we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus123 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I liked Gomez when he was with the Devils not so sure about his last 2 years with the Rangers, who was he playing with last year? I guess Drury had better wingers I'm still shock that Gainey went to get a guy with such a big contract, for his kind of production, I guess he couldnt get Lecavalier out of Tampa I hope some of those UFA are friend with Gomez and he can bring them here either way, I think someone in New York will be laughing tonight.

sssfffs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 well we can say good bye to any possibility of siging the sedins i would have perfered briere then gomez $33.0million cap space. - gomez's 7.3 million contract = 25.7 millino. Sedin twins want 6-7million each. = around 11.7 million left to sign other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy-piton Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 no! no! no! i still don't belive that can be possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsessed Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well Gomez is a good player and he's good at what he does, he's quick and he's a playmaker. Too bad we could've just as easily filled that need by keeping Koivu at a much lower price while still retaining Higgins. To me it looks like Koivu is out for sure now and ultimately we haven't fulfilled our need of a big talented centreman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssfffs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Here is what I think. Koivu is gone, gomez replaces him. The Sedin twins come in to montreal. Henrik Sedin 6'2" centerman and Daniel Sedin 6'1 winger. I don't see anything bad about this so far. Gomez will do great next year! I for one am excited to see him in Montreal.

mortwinkler Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Everyone always complains the Habs never do any jaw-dropping trades...well here ya go. lol. Perhaps this is part of a bigger deal in the long-run. We won't know that immediatley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCapitan_mtl Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 If this deal is true, we need to fire Gainey NOW!!!! No Koivu, add Gomez....this team is going down down down. That is the most ludicrous trade Gainey could make. Trade youth and future for an old washed up has been...great job. At 8 million! The only guy I'd pay that much to, aside from Crosby and Ovechkin, is Vinny. This leaves us with no money to get a real centreman. We don't need another 16 goal scorer. We have Lang. Keep him. I can't believe this deal. The drive for 25 just took a nosedive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
