Yeah, I meant to say trade for Gomez, my mistake. I remember when he was the number one ranked unrestricted free agent a few years ago by TSN (I couldn't tell why). McKenzie and Dreger were salivating over him, and I said at the time he was overrated. Then Sather threw a ton of cash at him like you said. He's only had one season with more than 30 goals and 80 points, and other than that season he has never once scored 20 or more goals. And during the lockout season of 04/05 he played for an Alaskan team in the ECHL and wasn't even in the top 5 on his team for goals, he did lead the team in points but just barely over a guy who has been a career minor leaguer. Never saw the appeal in this guy. He's always been fairly good defensively, but a decent defensive centre who doesn't put up points isn't worth 8+ million in the NHL.
