You dont make trades for the sake of making trades.

Gomez is far more valuable to the Devils than Stoll or Legwand would or ever could be and I fully believe that Gomez is worth more in trade value than them both, especially Legwand.

While I have been critical of Gomez at times, he is a supremely talented player and is held in high regard by many GMs.

When did I say I was making this trade just to make a trade?? I missed that part of the post.

That is all pre-cap thinking, if you want to understand this thread then re-read my post. I'm tired of explaining it again.

yes, this trade is truly a bad idea.

you trade gionta away not gomez. how many times does this need to be said.

[elias2600]

How about neither.


There is no need to worry about any of this until we know that Lou has run into a wall and must attempt trades of our most skilled/highest paid guys. That is a last resort, not a first. NO ONE here knows what other moves or loopholes lou knows could get us out of the bind, so why bother contemplating the absolute worst possible sacrifices at all, and especially first?

Legwand will never be a #1 center. He's the ultimate tease. Has the talent, but he'll never live up to his expectations when he was drafted. Plus he's coming off major reconstrucive surgery.

Not a good deal at all.

Why would you trade away Gomez, who puts up solid offensive numbers, and has finally shown the ability to create and score in the same breath for a bonafide disappointment in Legwand??

Oh, hes only temporary? Even worse...........


This whole idea is nonsensical.


If it aint broke, dont fix it.
