I don't. If Gomez would have produce, he'd be here with or without this market. And I'm not even talking about a 80-point season. Gomez has only himself to blame. Of course, with a 1.5 M$ contract with the Islanders next year, he will do better. Then, the Isles will fall for him and give him a 4-year contract and then he'll sit on it as he did with us.
I believe you can feel for a teamate and hate to see him go. But not need to blame the market for it. A market so filled with pressure and expectations that they have seen 1 3rd round in the past 19 years.
