Who will land the Scott Gomez sweepstakes?

Scott Gomez announced he will become an unrestricted free agent today and will demand top dollar for his services. Since the Devils will probably not fork over the salary to keep him, what team will land him?

Who will land the Scott Gomez sweepstakes?
i think the people knockin gomez don't know hockey. he is a very skilled and fast player who plays in a defencive system. if he played for a team like ottawa or buffalo he would put up big numbers. to answer your question i've heard on tsn that the leafs might go after him
Reply:I hope the Flyers pick him up. He can bring some veteran leadership that they sorely need. He's a grinder which fits the Flyers system well. The Flyers have been missing a good physical center since we traded Handzus and Primeau retired. He'd be a good fit in Philly, probably a 3rd line player though, behind Briere (we will sign him, there was a reason we traded for Biron) and Jeff Carter. As much as it pains me to give credit to a Devils player, I've always liked Gomez.
Reply:I don't know, but I have to think his playoff performance versus Ottawa hurts his overall appeal.
Reply:Rumours have him heading to the west coast where an American star is required in LA LA land.
Reply:St. Louis is going to throw some money around this offseason. Gomez certainly will get some great offers.
Reply:I think that whatever team he signs with should thank their lucky stars to be getting such a talent. I hope that he will re-sign with the Devils, but, I'm sure that Lou will not do what is in the best interest of the team and try and keep him. Good luck to you Gomer where ever you end up
Reply:He is a third line player and will get third line money!
Reply:I Hope He resigns with Jersey, god, well miss him so much!! Wow Wat a player he is, good enough for a briere-gomez trade!!!
Reply:hell die in a week.
Reply:He'll be back in Jersey
Reply:Wow, some of these responders are out to lunch. I am one of the biggest detractors of NJ's style, but Gomez is one of the real talents on that squad. He leads playoff scorers, is a remarkable playmaker and his skating has improved ten-fold since he broke into the league.





He may not get Drury money, but he's at $5M right now and $6M is not out of the question, by any means.
Reply:Who cares!!! He cant skate , hes slow as a dog. Chris drury is the one free agent everybody wants!
Reply:Who cares. He's not a great player and therefore not worth top dollar. He's not skilled offensively, he's not great defensively and he's not a good playmaker. On most teams he'd be 2nd line at best.
