Ah okay. I guess the only thing worse than watching a game in the cold, is watching a game in the cold in Hamilton.

Watching l'antichambre last night they were talking about how they probably could have gotten more from a team like Nashville (which makes no sense). I think the only reason people hate this trade is because they overvalue Cammy's value, but getting a cheaper player who produces as much as Cammy, a decent 3rd line potenial prospect and a 2nd round pick from a team that doesn't have a bright future is a pretty good deal.

The only reason they hate this trade is so they have a reason to keep talking about it.

I disagree, after the year he had I think they wanted to see if he could have a bounce back year.
Not to mention the 2 years he will be in the minors will cost them what they were paying per year previously.
SO here are the scenarios:
1- pay him 10M over the next 2 years and have a 7M cap hit/yr
2- but him out for 7M over 4 years and still have 3.5, 4.5, 1.6, 1.6 cap hit
3- pay him 10M and have no cap hit (he cost you 7.5 this year for nothing)

This is a business and paying an extra 3 for the extra cap space from option 2 is a no brainer.

I think also the uncertainty of what other centers might be able to do, given their lack of NHL experience or production (ie: Eller and DD) played a factor in this too.

I wasn't surprised that Gomez was brought back for this season, I will be if he's brought back next year for the reasons both you and Braiden mention.

AgrEEd.

I think Gomez has moved down the C depth and what may have seemed unthinkable is a likely course. If he gets claimed off of waivers great if not I think he will be a 'Dog next year.

After everything the Habs did this year, (firing Pearn at morning skate, firing JM hours before a game, hiring an anglo coach and then throwing him under the bus, trading a player DURING a game) will demoting a vet be any worse for the Habs rep?
