Given the NHL is footing the bill, if Gomez saves them $5 million over three seasons, that's not necessarily the worst idea in the world.
Still, it seemed to me to be more an exercise in connecting dots than an actual rumor.

Probably but at least those dots make some sense. Still I know better players are available that may outweigh the money they'd save.
