You called us the worst team in the league lol.. you didn't throw stones, you threw boulders.
- Panthers88

They were the worst team in the league last year. Was he throwing boulders or just stating a fact???

Worst player in the league to the worst team in the league. Big news today.

Edit: sorry if that came out troll-y. I have no quarrel with you, Florida, I just hate Gomez.

- TheJerseyDevil1


how do you hate someone that was once one of your best players on the devils? when he left he was absolute crap. your logic makes no sense

Yes but on paper they are not the worst team this year. I would take Floridas team and prospects over NJD any day of the week.

Do you have more bleacher report articles to tell us how bad the devils are? I love reading those.

I don't think the devils are bad, I just think their prospect pool is one of the worst in the league. As of now their team is about average and prospects are below average. With a couple of top five picks that can change fast. Nothing wrong with missing the playoffs a few years. Every team goes through it.

I actually like the panthers but I'm with you on Gomez. If I were a devils fan I'd probably hate him even more?

And half our team was injured in a shorten season. And we got another great and up incoming player in Barkov.

And you just lost your best forward two years in a row. I think most people would take the panthers situation over the devils!

- Crazycaboose

Yep, I know I would but don't ever count those devils out!

Huh???? They have Kris Versteeg on the books at 4.4 mil per season, he is their second highest paid forward. That is not very good paper at all.

I like our situation. We'll roll four lines every game and surprise some people. Not saying we'll go to the Cup but.. there are teams in worse situations than us.
- Panthers88

I think if barkov can contribute right away and the team can beat the injury bug off them you'll be in the playoffs.

panthers suck, gomez sucks, he only went there because it was the panthers or europe.
- Jurco_28



Do you pronounce your name as "Jerk-O"?

I like the signing. As already stated correctly, Gomez looked pretty good in SJ, and the time in Montreal was criticized from day one.

At 900K, I'd like him in the locker room and if (and I think he will) he can mentor young guys and be a solid leader it's a GREAT signing! I think this can surprise some folks.

Simple. He left NJ to play for the Rangers. It had nothing to do with his skill.

That is the ultimate betrayal.

Your question has been answered.

know how many times in his career Scott Gomez scored 20 goals?
- DoubleDown


Probably fewer times than Maurice Richard, but I don't think Richard's gonna be lighting it up this year.

They were literally the worst team in the league last year. No opinion in that statement.
- TheJerseyDevil1


The devils in the past 2 years have literally lost Parise, Kovalchuk, Clarkson, replaced them with Clowe, Jagr, and Ryder, explain to me, how that is an upgrade......Floridas got one of the best, if not the best prospect pool in the league...I'd far rather be a Panthers fan than a Devils fan at this point in time...the glory days of stevens, niedermayer and brodeur in their prime are long gone

No one, but when a fan bashes the signing of gomez for under 1 million, when they have that garbage on their team...it seems a little odd don't you think?

I think the most important thing is the person that is running the show. We're in a tough spot, but LL has kept us as one of the top franchises over the past 20 years. Florida has been stock piling top level first round pics for a over a decade and have yet to make anything out of it. Same story in LI.

If i wasn't a devil's fan, I would be trolling us right now as well, but we have one thing, you do not, and his name is Uncle Lou.

Nope. Its pretty obvious why a devil fan would hate gomez. Its also pretty accurate to call him a bad player. He's certainly not better than Clowe, Jagr, or Ryder. You are overreacting.
