Today's hockey notes start off with the end of one of the most mind-boggling goalless droughts in recent memory. Scott Gomez, who's making $7.5 million this season for the Montreal Canadiens, finally scored last night after going more than a year without lighting the lamp!

Schlub?
He scored more than any of the Preds did last season. I’d probably take him.

like it and like it, to answer your question … filling in the blank is the hard part

I’m really bad at figuring out which players are worth more than themselves (i.e., 1:2 ratio or whatever), but that’s okay. You could send them Geoffrion (even though I highly doubt we’d do it, they want the Whole Collection), Cube (he speaks French and is basically from Quebec – WOOO!), and Smithson (he’s a good defensive player, and he could help with their goal differential)?
