I read TG's article on Gomez. When I first saw this, I thought wtf like the other guy, but imo I don't like Zubrus or Ruutu centering the third line, and I personally don't like Elias as a center. Zajac, Henrique, Gomez I'd have no problem with it and it would give us another option for center. Guys are gonna have to be moved as it is, but another guy will have to go or keep 14 forwards, 7 D, and 2 goalies.

Oh great a 2nd line center for the ahl on our third line

all I wanted to do was go on hating Gomez in peace, but now we have to root for him.

because we don't have enough forwards as it is!!! "ooo the chemistry between Gomez and ELias!!!" .. that was 7 yearrrrrs ago, and he's 35 now. Should've brought back Gionta too (tho it would've been millions more than Havlat) and we could've had the EGG line back!

but maybe he'd be an ok 3rd line center? better than Josefson? or should we just roll with Josefson? Best player wins? Gotta ship out some forwards if this is even a possibility.

Also can't stomach that we'll have FOUR expansion teams. Really?? Four??? How bout just 2 in the west so they have the same amount of teams as the east??? That's what we thought was going to happen.. but 4?? A bit too much. Thinning it out a bit too much. Too many teams. Stupid. Not a fan at all.

Omg kaberle is poop like complete poop like this is actually embarrassing and the sad thing is these guys are going to get a legit shot lol this is the exact type of thing that pisses me off we get hopes of finally seeing a youth movement like every good team in the league. And then we go out and add a ton of guys over thirty and invite two over thirty poop players to camp like seriously just trade the kids now for (frank) sakes lol

Lou was honestly doing great, but now this. Abysmal. Much more harm than good.

If you are going to pull this poop why did we resign bernier and gionta and still haven't signed carter the amount of stupid that is going on is unreal there is 0 reason to think kaberle is better then any of Larsson Merrill or Gelinas and Lou of all people should know this like wtf is the point seriously if I was the owners I would be calling him now and saying if you want to keep your job your are calling Gomez and kaberle and telling them they aren't invited

I'm blown away and super frustrated. The last thing we need is more old players what we do need is a good trade to bring in a top notch young talent like everyone in the hockey world sees this but not Lou like when is he going to start moving bodies out ? We remove 3 add 3 still have two decent players unsigned and invite two absolute plugs to camp like wtf is he thinking that because he invited kaberle to camp that Gelinas will get scared and take less money ? Common kaberle couldn't beat me out for a spot for (frank) sakes lol

I don't get it either. He did some good things but there's been some moves I question greatly.

We are going to be that team who ruins all their young prospects because the gm can't help but add dusty poop players whenever they become available I just really don't like how Lou prioritizes thing like let's lock up gio and bernier first then sign a decent free agent and a low risk high reward one wait forever and not resign the best fourth liner despite already signing the other two members of the fourth line and still not having one of your most promising kids signed yet but we will go a head and shift our attention to guys who should not make the team and speak with them to give them invite. His top priority is always adding old players and not getting rid of the bevy of poop players we already have
