Wasn't it Higgins and McDonaugh for Gomez? Higgins maybe struggled a bit in New York, but I think over the time there he was still an effective player. Higgins alone should have been plenty and still would have been a bad trade for Montreal...but than they added McDonaugh.

Wasn't this sometime after Gaineys' daughter had that sudden tragic death, while out at sea? That would certainly affect many people's judgement.

They are still cutting it very close... Stepan was near a PPG last season and may cost 4-5 million in cap space.

[you got PHANUEFED]

Ranger got a major discount should of cost them an extra mill for this guy.

Fair deal. McDonagh has the potential to develop and make more.

They did but i highly doubt they're crying considering they have a Norris trophy winning D-man already.
