Would Gomez count as part of the 23 man roster while being sent home?
Another poster already suggested - why not wait until next season?
How do they save 900K?

Can't risk the injury...wow...big news...You can burry the first $900k of a contract in the minors, but everything over that counts. So they're essentially assigning him to the minors but not playing him there.
Can we change the title to "Scott GoHomez?" Because I don't want to thank him for being on this team. Cost us my favorite player at the time plus our best prospect.
I want to thank Geoff Molson, for not being cheap.
I wonder what his teammates will think, especially the hardcore PA guys.

He's saving money doing this. Cap hit can't be replaced (save 900k) and the buyout of the final year is less money over more time.
But at least from a hockey standpoint, the team is willing to make unpopular decisions (amongst the players) to ensure the long-term health of the team.
Wow.. I guess my thread yesterday wasn't such a crazy thread afterall. I expect the Rangers will do the same with Redden.
I feel bad for Scott (he was still playing hockey this year even with the lockout), but this is the smartest thing to do from the team's perspective.
Now, do we carry 22 players only? Or do we send him to the AHL (whilst still sitting him out), so we can carry 23?
