Good Morning Addicts!
Among the recent handful of outsourced NHL'ers is Canadiens own Scott Gomez. Or is he?
There were reports online yesterday that the Habs forward had signed with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. Gomez, an Anchorage native played with the Aces during the previous lockout and lead the league in points.
Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette however, reported via twitter that Gomez simply signed a pro tryout contract with the team in order to practice with them and stay in shape.
Stubbs tweeted that Gomez had reached him through text assuring him that he would not be a part of the team during the lockout.
