There's a lot of speculation going on right now surrounding the New York Rangers, Mats Sundin, Scott Gomez and the Vancouver Canucks. Pretty much in that order.
The Team 1040 was speculating last night that the Sundin rumours have a lot of legs. They seemed to think that this was something that would probably go down. One of their announcers, Black Price, suggested that if/when the Rangers signed Sundin, Scott Gomez would be on his way out - to the Vancouver Canucks.
"One of the 7 big contracts would have to be moved, no matter what Sundin signs for."
Drury has the intagibles that the Rangers love, Rozsival just re-signed, no do-overs on Ringo (read: no one will take him), pretty much ditto for Naslund. So that leaves Lundqvist, Gomez and Drury.
The two places that Scott Gomez always spoke highly about were Ottawa and Vancouver. Ottawa's out of this one completely, so it's back to Vancouver, where he apparently has a lot of friends and family - not to mention being closer to his birthplace, Alaska.
No clues as to whom the Canucks would send back, but stay tuned on this one. Rangers fans won't be happy this this, but Canucks fans will be thrilled.
