Let the Spending Begin: Scott Gomez Traded to Montreal

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:30:00 -0500

by Adam GretzFiled under: Canadiens, RangersGive Rangers general manager Glen Sather credit; he found somebody take on one of the team's ugly contracts when he sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens for Chris Higgins on Tuesday afternoon. Gomez, 29, signed a seven-year, $51 million deal with the Rangers prior to the 2007-08 season, and the signing proved to be a mistake from the very beginning. In two years with the Rangers he never tallied more than 16 goals, while registering 128 po...

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:51:12 -0500

The Rangers beat the Atlanta Thrashers, 3-2. And they didn't need a shootout to do it. Miracles do happen.

Rangers Can’t Score, Lose to Flames

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:42:29 -0500

The Rangers are getting so desperate for offense, Scott Gomez was playing left wing at the end of their 3-0 loss to Calgary.

Rangers went after a free agent Devils' center a few years ago. How'd that work out? Just go ask Bobby Holik. That said, Gomez could be a real fit for the Blueshirts. The Devils had best show him the money if they hope to keep him in Jersey.
