SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Florida Panthers have signed centre Scott Gomez to a one-year contract. The Alaska native had 15 points in 39 games for San Jose last season. The Sharks signed Gomez after the Montreal Canadiens bought out his lucrative and controversial contract after the NHL lockout. Gomez became a lightning rod for criticism in Montreal, where his production drastically declined. In 2007, he signed a seven-year, US$51.5-million contract as an unrestricted free agent with the New York Rangers. Two years later, the Canadiens then-GM Bob Gainey hailed Gomez as the centrepiece of a rebuilding program after acquiring him in a seven-player deal that sent, among others, top defence prospect Ryan McDonagh to New York. He had 59 points in his first year in Montreal in 2009-10, 38 the next and, while battling injuries, dropped to two goals and nine assists in 38 games in his final season with the Habs. That lack of scoring coupled with the hefty contract the Canadiens inherited from the New York Rangers made Gomez a popular target for Montreal fans. His goal on Feb. 9, 2012 against the New York Islanders ended a scoring drought that dated to Feb. 5 the previous year. Some fans had set up a mock count-down clock to "celebrate" the anniversary. Gomez has drafted 27th overall by New Jersey in 1998 and won the Calder Trophy as the NHLs rookie of the year in 1999-2000. He won Stanley Cups in 2000 and 2003 with the Devils and had a career-best 84 points in 2005-06. Gomez has 171 goals and 530 assists in 941 games with the Devils, Rangers, Canadiens and Sharks.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Moritz Wagner Jersey . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz.

The Wallabies are sweating on the fitness of Sean McMahon as coach Michael Cheika faces yet another back-row configuration for next weekends Test against Argentina.McMahon has been sent for scans on his ankle after injuring himself in a tackle in the first half of Saturdays 18-10 Rugby Championship defeat to South Africa (Sunday morning AEST).He tried to play on after having it strapped but struggled to run and was swapped at the break for Scott Fardy.The 22-year-old was brought into the team as a replacement for David Pocock (broken hand) and was set for an extended run at No.8, a position he is keen to make his own.Cheika said it was likely a pretty significant injury.Thats two now in that spot, Cheika said. Well see where we end up next week.He was going well when he was on there, that was very positive.McMahons injury could mean a starting debut for Lopeti Timani, the only other recognised No.8 in the current Australian squad, agaainst Los Pumas at Twickenham.ddddddddddddTimani was the last man trimmed from the Wallaby bench at Loftus Versfeld, having made his first international appearance as a reserve in their previous Rugby Championship clash in Perth.Alternatively, Cheika could fly over Ben McCalman, who has recovered from a shoulder issue and is playing back home in the National Rugby Championship.Vice-captain Michael Hooper is still hopeful McMahon wont miss a game, describing him as a player they need in the team.He seemed pretty positive, Hooper said. Hes a hard, hard bloke, so its going to take a lot for him to not play.Were hoping for the best there because the involvements he had early on in the game were fantastic - a couple good carries, turnovers, tackles.We need him in the squad and hopefully thats the result we get.
