Okay Everybody, I must apologize for my fellow hab fans, that are cleary insane (only two really), i assure you we are all not like that, just as not all leafs fans think Kadri, Gunnerson, and McArthur will Getzlaf, Webber, and Bobby Ryan. Again, sorry for my people.

Hey man, But I like Hemsky to the Bolts… Not defending my insane fellow hab fan, But I think that would work for both teams.
I think a Malone – Hemsky swap might be good

Yeah, no way I’d give him a two year deal. If only there was a way to sign him to a deal that guaranteed the first year and an automatic extension if he fulfilled certain criteria, such as points and games played.

Where the fuck did I say its a money issue …. It’s not…. It’s a four year cap hit issue over two…. There is no reason to buy him out right now unless you’re offer sheeting weber for a 10 mil cap hit …. Ya know what i mean … Buying him outr for the sake of buying him out is stupid…. With no one significant left to sign a buy out is useless….. We have cap room to make moves throughout the season and worst case you just sit gomez in the press box all season….. He doesn’t affect morale… So keep him for the year… It’s that simple

Yes TimTheBone, we saw your opinion. Outlined above. But the majority of us disagree with you. Who cares about the money. All that matters is the cap hit. Let Molson pay, he has the funds. The money does not come out of the fans pocket so your argument doesn’t really hold here. The cap would be about 4M less for two years and almost 6M less for the 2 following years.

What the hell is 1.6M on a probably-then 80M plus cap?

But hey, you’re an adult, you can formulate your own god damned opinion, right?

By the way, take a chill pill there cranky timmy.

The point of a discussion is to present both points of view and hopefully derive consensus. Most people are just to stubborn to ever change their mind, even when presented with convincing argument. Good on him.

Now bow to me and suck my… oh wait, censorship… just bow.

I’m more of a Tampa fan then a Leaf’s fan, but not many people talk about them here.

Anyway, someone else proposed Hemsky to Montreal, I commented on that. Hemsky on the Leafs is something we don’t need seeing as we’re pretty solid on wingers in with Lupul, Kessel, JVR, Kulemin

Josh just for shots and giggles…. Go check out what the cap hit would be after they burn one more year on his contract….. More freaking attractive than a 3.5-4.5-1.66-1.66 cap hit over 4 years….. A buy out is just stupid… I outlined my thoughts above

Look I’m an adult am allowed to formulate my own god Damn opinions…

Gomez is wholly capable over the course of a full season to get 40-50 points still… He acomplished that in two of his four seasons so far with the habbys…. Keep in mind that he only played 38 games in 2011-2012…. And it was 2 goals not 1 .. hahaha..

Either way whatever your opinion on the guy is it would be the most foolish fucking move to buy him out right now…. There’s no free agents to overpay for out there anyway….

With the new CBA currently being negotiated and not knowing exactly what’s to come… Buying him out would be just plain fucking dumb….. Dumb move…. Dumbest thing Bergevin could do and he sure as hell knows that…. Maybe the negotiations do nothing for that situation…. But what if it would bring in the glorious amnesty clause and gomez had been bought out….. People like you who were crying and stamping your feet to buy this guy out now would be crucifying Bergevin for not seeing that coming…..

Fuck a buyout… Its not going to happen… It shouldn’t happen …. Montreal isn’t truly playoff bound for AT LEAST one more season… Get comfortable with that… And get comfortable with gomez for another season too… Unless amnesty comes a-callin’
