Good on Gomez for being able to find yet another contract - who knows, if he does well during this stretch drive leading up to the playoffs, perhaps he parlays it into another contract for next season somehow.
From the Sens' standpoint, I still don't quite understand it. They don't have a better option on the farm? Couldn't get a cheap option through trade this past deadline when some players were going for fairly inexpensive prices? Doesn't provide much hope that Ottawa is really trying to make the playoffs. I mean, no offence to Gomez, but I would think a team that is trying to make the playoffs would at least try to find a guy who can contribute better, even if it is just a defensive or at least a more physical center.
