sssfffs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well we didnt lose much in valitenko.It didnt look like he was ever gonna play here anyway.The biggest loss here is mcdonaugh.I guess well be looking to draft a top defenseman next year. Bob Gainey wants to end up last place I assume. To get the 1st round pick. Mike Komisarek is also testing the Free Agency Market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77bourque77 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 at a lost for words, i didnt like higgins for gomez... but what the hell, i thoght MAC was a top prospect and we dont even get anybody good in return for him or for even janik and valentanko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-K-46 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 We're gonna become very familiar with draft lottery that's for sure. at least we'll be able to get some good players but BG will probably only draft d-men :angry: :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catt-_mtlc Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 All the good that Gainey has done the past 5 years is completely undone now with one trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlaster_mtl Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 at least we'll be able to get some good players but BG will probably only draft d-men :angry: :angry: McDonagh was our top prospect...so even if he drafts a d-man, he'll likely turn around and trade him away for an overpaid underachiever. Way to go, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-K-46 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 the only way this deal is good is if we use gomez in another trade to get someone better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movetheleafs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 People are acting like the sky is falling. I don't like his salary but Gomez is far and away a much better player than Higgins. I must be one of the few people who never though Higgins was all that. You have to give something to get something.... Montreal really doesn't have too many assets right now, so expect these kinds of ttrades. I don't think Gomez is the 1st line center Gainey's looking for though. I believe he's going to get another center to play on the top line. Komi is easily replaceable so I have no problems with him leaving...another overrated player. After seeing who else was traded.....oh boy this really was a serious panic trade. I won't bash Gainey until I see what happens tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebchenier Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 one young immature goalie rushed into the big leagues - check 2 scoring lines filled with inconsistent players - check team superstar is a 35 year old who doesn't even average a point per game - check and now grossly overpriced and underperforming centre - check Guys, Gainey is a genius. He's setting us up to get top 3 picks for the next 4-5 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teststory Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Strange trade, but it could work out ok. It depends on how Gomez performs and how the prospects the Habs traded perform. The Habs better get some good wingers to play with Gomez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubby31 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 this board is full of pessimists. Yea,whatever. . i don't think bob is finished yet.

A-K-46 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 « We are extremely pleased to have acquired an impact centreman in Scott Gomez. He is an outstanding playmaker and an excellent skater. Having won the Stanley Cup twice with the New Jersey Devils, he brings to tour team a lot of playoff experience. Scott is an elite player who will certainly contribute to the success of our team for years to come » said Bob Gainey. what!!!! gomez is a scrap with a big cap hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashtak Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 At least Josh Gorges wasn't involved in the trade. Do I smell Vincent Lecavalier?!?!? Yes the rumours again! Are you kidding? Why in the hell would TB trade a superstar center for a good center with a really similar contract. If Lecavalier has no more purpose in Tampa, so would Gomez.

TheBlaster_mtl Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Oh and another big plus to this trade. Remember all the cap space we were saving with all our UFAs this off season? Yeah, kiss it goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 This couldn't wait until we see what could have happened tomorrow? And losing McDonagh! I'm not sure how much I like that move... Gomez is coming off an atrocious season in New York and has a $7.3 million cap hit until the end of 2013-2014... Seriously, I am so confused by this move.

darren19 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 So basically, looking at all the players involved, It's Gomez for Higgins and McDonagh. Not a bad trade, we finally get a first line center for a 3rd line winger and a prospect. After watching McDonagh in the world juniors, he did look like a very good D, superior to Subban in my opinion. Time will tell, remember Balej? ...
